significantly increased after the First Transcontinental Railroad was completed in 1869, but the long horseback ride to reach the area was a deterrent.[33] Three stagecoach roads were built in the mid-1870s to provide better access for the growing number of visitors to Yosemite Valley.
游客们进入约塞米蒂国家公园的入口在该公园的早期得到了改善，而约塞米蒂山谷的环境也变得更加友好了。1869年，第一条横穿美国大陆的铁路完成后，约塞米蒂公园的旅游业大量增加，但长时间骑马到达这个区域是一个遏制因素。十九世纪七十年代中期，为了不断增加的游客们更好地进入约塞米蒂山谷而建了三条驿站马车公路。
Scottish-born naturalist John Muir wrote articles popularizing the area and increasing scientific interest in it. Muir was one of the first to theorize that the major landforms in Yosemite Valley were created by large alpine glaciers, bucking established scientists such as Josiah Whitney, who regarded Muir as an amateur.[38] Muir wrote scientific papers on the area's biology.
出生于苏格兰的自然学家约翰缪尔写了很多文章来推广这个区域并提高人们对它的科学兴趣。缪尔是最初将约塞米蒂山谷的主要地貌是由巨大的高山冰川所创建并将其理论化的一个。他竭力反对已确认的科学家们如乔赛亚惠特尼(Josiah Whitney)，但那些科学家们认为缪尔只是个业余爱好者。然而，缪尔写下了有关约塞米蒂区域生物的科学论文。
