Huell Howser of California Gold visits Huell Howser visits LeConte Memorial Lodge where he interviews Sierra Club LeConte Lodge Curator Bonnie Gisel and National Park Service spokesman Scott Gediman. This video is provided courtesy of Huell Howser, from his acclaimed California Gold television series. Excerpted from California's Gold #9007 - "Yosemite Buildings" first aired in August, 2007. When most people think of Yosemite, they imagine towering peaks and cascading waterfalls, but there is an amazing human history that is told through some of the many buildings that dot the valley floor. In this visit (filmed in July, 2006), Huell Howser discovers two small buildings that are very historic and very beautiful. He visited the Yosemite Valley Chapel (not shown here), and the LeConte Memorial Lodge, a National Historic Landmark. In this video visit to LeConte Memorial Lodge, Huell interviewed Sierra Club Curator Bonnie Gisel and National Park Service spokesman Scott Gediman. Huell exclaims, "This beautiful stone structure is a real gem!" For more information, during the summer contact Sierra Club LeConte Memorial Lodge Curator, P.O.
