Three and a half million people go to Yosemite NATIONAL PARK every year and they leave a lot of mess. 18:53:38 CHARLES GIBSON (VO) What to do about it? Just call a few thousand of your best friends. ABC's David Muir reports from Yosemite. 18:53:46 DAVID MUIR, ABC NEWS (VO) As the sun rises over Yosemite NATIONAL PARK, the storied El Capitan is ready for another day in the spotlight, another day of tourists taking photographs and climbers scaling his 3600-foot facade. Ken Yager is among those devoted climbers. He's been coming here since 1972. And just as the park comes alive beneath the morning sun, Ken, too, readies himself for a monumental challenge. 18:54:10 KEN YAGER, VOLUNTEER Let's do that. 18:54:11 DAVID MUIR (VO) Not Capitan, a different uphill fight. 18:54:13 KEN YAGER On three. 18:54:14 DAVID MUIR (VO) He wants to clean the park, and he's serious. 18:54:18 KEN YAGER And we got over 25,000 pounds. 18:54:20 DAVID MUIR (VO) That's 25,000 pounds of garbage picked up last year by him and his volunteers one piece at a time. And this year, he's at it again, trying to convince Yosemite's visitors that their own footprint can be erased. 18:54:35 SCOTT GEDIMAN, RANGER I don't think the average visitor to Yosemite realizes the impact that they have, the cumulative effect of three and a half million visitors. 18:54:43 DAVID MUIR (OC) When you look at this map, are you impressed? 18:54:46 KEN YAGER I am, yeah. Actually, for just two days, this is very good. That's the best start we've ever had, I mean, by far. Are you impressed? 18:54:54 DAVID MUIR (OC) I'm impressed. I've seen them out there today. 18:54:56 DAVID MUIR (VO) Each stretch of road highlighted is a road cleaned by the growing number of climbers and visitors who, by word of mouth, have joined Ken's cause. This year, there are nearly 3,000 of them. 18:55:08 DAVID MUIR (OC) Some of the most accomplished climbers from all over the world come here to Yosemite to scale El Capitan. They are all adventurers, but so many of them have now become spotters, looking out for what's been left behind by the millions of tourists who visit here every year. How much is the drop, you said? 18:55:25 IVO NINOV, VOLUNTEER At 700 feet going down. 18:55:26 DAVID MUIR (OC) Over the edge? 18:55:26 IVO NINOV Yeah. 18:55:27 DAVID MUIR (VO) Climber Ivo Ninov moved here from Bulgaria. 18:55:30 DAVID MUIR (OC) So how many times do you suppose you've scaled Capitan? 18:55:33 IVO NINOV Fifty-one. 18:55:34 DAVID MUIR (OC) Fifty-one? 18:55:34 IVO NINOV Yeah. 18:55:35 DAVID MUIR (OC) Not that you're counting or anything. 18:55:36 IVO NINOV No, I have been counting. 18:55:37 DAVID MUIR (OC) You have? 18:55:38 DAVID MUIR (VO) Fifty-one times. But on this day, he's rappelling down a cliff to pick up trash. 18:55:43 IVO NINOV I'm blown away myself to see the amount of garbage, which is here. Rope. 18:55:47 DAVID MUIR (VO) Armed with cables and trash bags, the climbers are cleaning the cliffs, bringing in a helicopter to carry heavy loads of garbage from atop the monuments. But some loads are too heavy even for a helicopter. Grant Hiskes has been climbing Yosemite for three decades and is always on the lookout for new trails. He was scouting a path, when buried in the brush, he saw what at first looked like a piece of rusted metal. 18:56:10 GRANT HISKES, VOLUNTEER It turned out a 1951 Nash, yes. They don't, they've tried to find the VIN number on it. The motor was completely encased with squirrel nests and pine cones. 18:56:22 DAVID MUIR (VO) Nearly a half century after it ran off the winding roads of Yosemite, they're now pulling the car out as part of Yosemite's facelift. But the mystery of who was inside that car remains. Park historians have no record of any accident. And this cleanup is about more than just beauty, though. There's also the beast. Up to 450 black bears live here. And in recent years, garbage left behind has become far more than an eyesore. It's become eye-catching, at least for the bears, especially in the fall, when the bears beef up for their winter rest. 18:56:53 ADRIENNE FREEMAN, RANGER Well, each acorn has about five calories, somewhere between five and 20. And they're trying to get 20,000 calories a day. That's a lot of acorns. 18:57:01 DAVID MUIR (VO) So the bears find other sources, food and garbage left behind. This bear sees the camera, but that doesn't stop him because what he sees left in the car is far more enticing, a loaf of bread. And rangers say scenes like this one have become commonplace. They now send out weekly alerts, reminding visitors and campers to leave nothing behind. It's the kind of lesson learned early by the youngest volunteers, the group of 30 students who actually go to school here in the park in the shadow of Yosemite's giant treasures. 18:57:31 DAVID MUIR (OC) You found junk? What do you think of it, Jackson? What do you think of the junk? You don't like it, huh? 18:57:40 KEN YAGER The kids are going, 'Thank you, Ken, for letting us pick up trash." And I'm like, 'No, thank you." The young kids are the future land stewards of our public lands. And so if we start them at an early age, that maybe we can change kind of people's behavior in the woods. All right, good job. 18:57:56 DAVID MUIR (VO) In the meantime... 18:57:57 KEN YAGER Thanks, guys. 18:57:58 DAVID MUIR (VO) ...it is Ken who has become Yosemite's steward, a steward whose impact is now measured by the tons. But Ken secretly looks forward to the year when there isn't enough trash to break his record, instead, breaking habits one visitor at a time.
