Mineral King (original) (raw)
- La vallée de Mineral King est une vallée glaciaire de type alpin. Elle aurait pu être intégrée en 1890 au parc national de Sequoia mais une ville minière avait été fondée vers 1873 par des chercheurs d'argent. Une route avait été construite dès 1879 pour atteindre la vallée. Les mines d'argent n'extrayèrent jamais de minerai mais la route tortueuse pénétrant profondément dans la vallée en cul-de-sac servait d'accès à des constructions anarchiques servant de refuges ou de cabanes de vacances. Vers 1953, le service des forêts américains invita des promoteurs à développer la vallée mais sans succès. En 1960, la vallée était abandonnée mais toujours accessible et la nature avait repris sa place à l'image des espaces voisins intouchés. En 1966, il démarcha des sociétés pouvant investir plus de 3 millions de dollars, cinq surenchérirent. Walt Disney répondit à l'offre avec une proposition astronomique de 35 millions de dollars, le Disney's Mineral King Ski Resort qui fut généreusement mais provisoirement accueillie. Ce projet fut annulé en raison de l'intégration de la zone au parc national de Sequoia. La route menant au camp minier a été inscrit au Registre national des lieux historiques en 2003 comme paysage culturel. (fr)
- Mineral King is a subalpine glacial valley located in the southern part of Sequoia National Park, in the U.S. state of California. The valley lies at the headwaters of the East Fork of the Kaweah River, which rises at the eastern part of the valley and flows northwest. Accessed by a long and narrow winding road, the valley is mostly popular with backpackers and hikers. Historically, the valley was inhabited by the Yokuts tribe during the summer months. They would come up to escape the high heat of the Central Valley and to hunt and forage. They would also meet with bands coming over from the eastern side of the Sierra to trade. In the 1870s, silver was discovered on the slopes of a mountain overlooking Mineral King. Mineral King Road was built in 1873 and was gradually improved throughout the early 20th century. On September 19, 1966, Walt Disney Productions announced plans to build a ski resort called "Disney's Mineral King Ski Resort" in the valley. The project was canceled after lengthy opposition by preservationists, including the Sierra Club. In 1978, the valley became part of Sequoia National Park. The name Mineral King also refers to the historic mining camps and towns in and near the valley, including Silver City and Cabin Cove. The settlements as a whole are referred to as the Mineral King Road Cultural Landscape, which was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2003. (en)
