Curated moments, not scraped listings.

Each event answers who it is best for, why it is worth doing, what to pair it with, and which local businesses make the day better.

Regional Connectors

Trusted sources feed the knowledge graph.

Official sources outrank tourism sites, editor notes, community posts, and user submissions. Facebook is a signal layer, not a direct publishing source.

Yosemite conditions

Reported status must come from NPS.

Source updated: Demo data only. Fetched: Not fetched.

Editorial intake

Facebook finds signals. Sierra Thrive publishes verified usefulness.

Candidates move through imported, needs review, verified, curated, published, and expired. Nothing sourced from a Facebook group can publish without an official source and original editorial treatment.

Content engine

Turn fresh local signals into useful weekly guides.

Every guide links events, businesses, towns, host concierges, and AI answers. Drafts stay local until editorial approval and CMS publishing are explicitly enabled.

Experience

Plans that feel local.

Sierra Opportunity Guide

Find the pathway, not another thread.

Host distribution network

Preview once. Personalize fast. Give hosts the link they actually send.

Every concierge preview is property-specific, QR-ready, and measured separately from active distribution.

Regional map

One connected Yosemite gateway corridor.

Mariposa, Oakhurst, Bass Lake, Groveland, Sonora, and Lee Vining feed one regional experience network.
