In 2024, a developer paid $4 million for 83 acres outside Yosemite; two years
In 2024, a developer paid $4 million for 83 acres outside Yosemite; two years later the US is considering a land swap for a private access road through the park. The proposed route would cross a roughly quarter-mile strip of National Park Service land. In exchange, the Park Service would receive land of equal value elsewhere in California, according to the proposal. A Nevada-based developer is seeking a land exchange that could allow a private road to be built through Yosemite National Park, giving access to an 83-acre property just outside the park. The Trump administration is considering the proposal, according to documents and people familiar with discussions KQED reported.
Why it matters. This case highlights the complex intersection of private real estate development and the protection of federal public lands within national parks.
