Ticket to Half Dome
This wild places program examines whether the hike to Yosemite’s Half Dome has become too popular to be considered wilderness. Is this national park attraction too attractive? Steve tells the story with the help of the following voices: Thomas Herrera, a Half Dome climber from Stockton, California. Rick Deutsch, author of the book, One Best Hike, Yosemite’s Half Dome. Scott Gediman, spokesman for Yosemite National Park. Karen Hamilton, a Half Dome climber from Cobb, California. Laurel Boyers, retired wilderness manager of Yosemite National Park. Francis Engler, a backpacker from Oceanside, California. The steel cables, which make the climb possible for most people, are down for the season. So at this time, the park highly discourages trying to climb the peak. The cables are usually reinstalled by the end of May. While climbing Half Dome may be an adventure and a proud achievement for many, some people feel the popularity of the route takes away some of its wilderness character. Scott Gediman recommends planning your climb on a weekday, perhaps a Tuesday or Wednesday, to avoid crowds. Former wilderness manager Laurel Boyers goes further, and says that the best wilderness experiences in Yosemite are away from the crowds that often fill the Half Dome Trail. Yosemite has Web pages devoted to planning wilderness trips.

Desert Roadless Traveled
This wild places program examines the problems of trying to designate new wilderness areas in the central Utah desert. If it gets overrun by off road vehicles, can it still become new wilderness? This story was provided to us by guest reporter Kurt Repanshek, creator of the National Parks Traveler web magazine. Kurt tells this story of the struggle for wilderness designations in the desert canyonlands of central Utah with the help of: Heidi McIntosh, conservation director for the Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance Wayne Ludington, assistant field manager for the Price district of the Bureau of Land Management Liz Thomas, attorney for the Moab office of the Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance (A spokesman for the Blue Ribbon Coalition, the dominant advocacy group for off road vehicle enthusiasts, didn’t respond to our e-mailed requests for an interview.) Taking a wilderness-friendly adventure in these areas is not as challenging as it might appear. You should check with the BLM for maps, routes, and conditions. Our program number 34: Desert Backpacking Tips, can get you started. We welcome your story contributions about outings, skills, or wild places that matter to you. Please see our Contribute page for details.

Lassen National Park, part 2
This wild places program is part one of a visit to Lassen Volcanic National Park. It’s been called a little Yellowstone because of its wilderness and its volcanic features. We hear from Steve Zachary, the park’s education specialist, about some of the most interesting features of the park’s wilderness areas. He mentions the Cinder Cone, the Fantastic Lava Beds, and Boiling Springs Lake. Jean Higham, our normally silent co-writer and co-editor, provides a trip report on her four day hike in the backcountry. A map and pictures of her trip are available on the photo album link, below. Jean’s hike was relatively easy, and she never got more than a few miles from the road. You don’t have to get very far into the wilderness to have an extraordinary experience. If you want to plan a trip to the backcountry of Lassen Volcanic National park, you’ll, of course, want to start with this PDF map. Then you’ll want to contact the park to arrange for a wilderness permit. You can apply for one in-person, by phone, or online.
