Yosemite Tioga Road Poster Utah President Franklin DProduct Details 14 x 22 poster Interpretive Copy With the coming of the worlds fair to San Francisco in 1915, a road over the high Sierras became important.

Once travel became possible, he broke a bottle full of water from the Pacific Ocean to dedicate the road to all who would flow along its path.
