BLM Dispatch #4 - Merced River Recreation Area
Whether you’re from California, Tokyo, or Spain, there’s a good chance you’ve heard of the 145-mile Merced River — or at least seen it in pictures.
This is the river that tumbles over the iconic Vernal and Nevada Falls, forming nature’s iconic “grand staircase” in a little-known place called Yosemite National Park. :)
After cascading through lush meadows and evergreen forests, the Merced drops 3,000 vertical feet before leveling out at the BLM-managed Merced River Recreation Area.
