Soda Springs (Yosemite National Park)

Soda Springs is a set of mineral springs in Tuolumne Meadows, Yosemite National Park. The name is often used interchangeably with Soda Springs Cabin, a log cabin built over the springs.

Partial history

The original inhabitants were Indigenous Americans, and in 1869, John Muir visited the area, grazing sheep. In 1885, John Baptiste Lembert made a seasonal homestead at Soda Springs, also filing a claim under the Homestead Act. In 1898, John McCauley used the homestead at Soda Springs as a seasonal pasture for his livestock. In 1915, The Sierra Club built Parsons Memorial Lodge at Soda Springs.
