Remembering Erin Anders
Yosemite Trails has lost one of the finest and most respected trail worker supervisors in the history of the program. Erin Anders passed away on May 19, 2015. He came to Yosemite through the California Conservation Corps (CCC) in 1980, working his way into a position on the Yosemite Trail Crew in 1981. In his 35 years on Trails, Erin mentored hundreds of park and CCC trail workers teaching them how to work hard and how to be stewards of nature. He was a talented stonemason, a leader of the avalanche crew, and the chief park blaster. His love of Yosemite was evident to all; his passion, strength, and energy for trail work were unrivaled. We can’t express how much Erin will be missed by all, especially his trail crew family. (D. Kari)
