The men and women of Yosemite Search and Rescue work around the
clock, ready to respond at any hour in any weather. It’s not all
helicopter heroics and plucking unlucky rock jocks off The Nose of
El Capitan. It also means helping the teen with the busted ankle on
the Mist Trail, finding the missing child in Tuolumne Meadows, and
rescuing the newlywed clinging to a slick rock after her raft
implodes. Most of Yosemite’s nearly 4 million annual visitors
leave the park without a scratch. For a few, however, a vacation in
this world-famous land of cliffs and waterfalls takes a turn for
the terrifying. That’s where the YOSAR team comes in. Author and
legendary YOSAR team member Butch Farabee relates epic tales of
endurance and survival, misadventure and fatal consequences. Also
included are: the origins of Search and Rescue in the national
parks, including the U.S. Army’s key role; advice for staying
safe in the park; profiles of SAR pros who do this dangerous work
every day; stories about YODOGS and animal rescues; innovative
techniques developed in Yosemite and now used around the world;
photos and descriptions of top-tier gear used by this world-class
team of medics, climbers, and swift-water experts; stats that any
adventure geek will love; and, of course, plenty of helicopters! A
must-read for thrill-seekers, armchair travelers, national park
novices, and expert explorers alike. Get the inside story on the
elite YOSAR team, and get inspired (and informed) for adventure
anywhere!
