Preserving the beauty of Yosemite National Park

For years, the National Park Service has been looking for a way to preserve and restore parts of the Yosemite Valley. Planners have discussed doing away with tourist amenities like ice skating and swimming pools to try and restore the habitat of the valley's Merced River.

The National Park Service is under a court order to finalize a plan by July 31st but political opposition is delaying any progress.
