Yosemite National Park welcomes more than 4 million visitors each year, but those visits come at a steep environmental cost. On this episode of CSU's The Audit podcast, national parks historian Michael Childers discusses the Yosemite's long history of overcrowding, the decision to end its reservation system and what the record-breaking crowds expected this season could mean for the future of all of our national parks.
