East Yosemite Valley Site Study
National Park Service
Yosemite National Park, California

Yosemite Valley stretches approximately ten miles in a roughly east-west direction, with most of the development in the eastern third of the narrow valley. In 2002, after years of planning efforts, the comprehensive management document, the Final Yosemite Valley Plan (YVP), was released.

Through our on-call contract with the National Park Service (NPS) for the park, ARG developed the site study for the eastern portion of the valley, an area that includes both the Curry Village National Historic District and the valley’s popular campgrounds. The study's purpose is to develop detailed location, program, and design criteria for over 38 projects defined in the YVP. ARG led a team of consultants who, in collaboration with NPS and the park concessionaire, built upon the YVP to develop a comprehensive plan.
