Yosemite National Park is one of three National Park Service units with the highest occurrences for search and rescue operations (Heggie and Amundson, 2009). Yosemite’s Search and Rescue (YOSAR) team performs approximately 250 rescues per year. Nearly 70% of those rescues are to locate lost, missing, or injured hikers (Dill, 2019). The primary factors contributing to hikers becoming lost or reported as missing include losing the trail (and then being overtaken by darkness), taking the wrong trail, and miscalculating the time or distance of the planned route (Doke, 2012). Inadequate signage placement, poor typographic design, and lack of signage at decision points are among the issues found when analyzing wayfinding throughout the park. The purpose of this project is to investigate Yosemite National Park’s hiking trail wayfinding system to design an improved solution to reduce the amount of SAR operations for lost or missing hikers. https://www.saramitschke.com/contact daily 0.75 2019-02-11 https://www.saramitschke.com/about daily 1.0 2023-09-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c608476f8135a5a4d30db9a/62f6a4c2-0128-4e0e-81f4-8b03e9193347/IMG_2649.jpg <p class="" data-rte-preserve-empty="true" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"></p> - Hey there!
