Tharp arrived in 1858 to the region and encountered several groups of Native Americans, the largest being around 600 with several other smaller groups found at higher elevations.<a href="#cite_note-:1-15">[15]</a> After becoming friendly with the Western Mono tribe, Tharp was shown the Giant Forest Sequoia Grove. After his settlement, more settlers came around 1860. Shortly thereafter - between 1860 and 1863, epidemics of smallpox, measles, and scarlet fever killed the majority of the Native Americans living in the area. After this, the rest of the Native Americans left with the largest campsite (Hospital Rock) abandoned by 1865.<a href="#cite_note-:1-15">[15]</a> During their time in the area, the Monachee used periodic fire burning to aid in hunting and agriculture. This technique played an important role in the ecology of the region and allowed for a "natural" vegetation cover development.<a href="#cite_note-:1-15">[15]</a> After they left, Tharp and other settlers allowed sheep and cattle to graze the meadow, while at the same time maintaining a respect for the grandeur of the forest and led early battles against logging in the area.

The Buffalo Soldiers rose to this position due to a lack of funding for the park which led to an inability to hire civilians.<a href="#cite_note-:0-19">[19]</a> The third African American West Point graduate, Captain <a href="/wiki/Charles_Young_(United_States_Army_officer)" title="Charles Young (United States Army officer)">Charles Young</a> led the cavalries of Buffalo Soldiers in the Sequoia and General Grant Parks.

Young was also a prominent figure regarding the early conservation of Sequoia National Park. He greenlighted the dedication of trees in honor of prominent figures as a means of promoting their preservation. One such example is the Redwood dedicated to the escaped slave and activist, <a href="/wiki/Booker_T._Washington" title="Booker T. Washington">Booker T Washington</a>.

During the last 10 million years, at least four <a href="/wiki/Ice_age" title="Ice age">ice ages</a> have coated the mountains in a thick mantle of ice. Glaciers form and develop during long periods of cool and wet weather. Glaciers move very slowly through the mountains, carving deep valleys and craggy peaks. The extensive history of glaciation within the range and the erosion-resistant nature of the granitic rocks that make up most of the Sierra Nevada have together created a landscape of hanging valleys, waterfalls, craggy peaks, alpine lakes (such as <a href="/wiki/Tulainyo_Lake" title="Tulainyo Lake">Tulainyo Lake</a>) and glacial canyons.<a href="#cite_note-npsgeo-35">[35]</a> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:CrystalCave_vgane.JPG" class="mw-file-description"><noscript><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/50/CrystalCave_vgane.JPG/220px-CrystalCave_vgane.JPG" decoding="async" width="220" height="147" class="mw-file-element" data-file-width="3504" data-file-height="2336"></noscript><span class="lazy-image-placeholder" style="width: 220px;height: 147px;" data-src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/50/CrystalCave_vgane.JPG/220px-CrystalCave_vgane.JPG" data-width="220" data-height="147" data-srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/50/CrystalCave_vgane.JPG/330px-CrystalCave_vgane.JPG 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/50/CrystalCave_vgane.JPG/440px-CrystalCave_vgane.JPG 2x" data-class="mw-file-element"> </a><figcaption>Calcite formations in <a href="/wiki/Crystal_Cave_(Sequoia_National_Park)" title="Crystal Cave (Sequoia National Park)">Crystal Cave</a></figcaption></figure> Park caves, like most caves in the Sierra Nevada of California, are mostly <a href="/wiki/Solutional_cave" title="Solutional cave">solutional caves</a> dissolved from <a href="/wiki/Marble" title="Marble">marble</a>. Marble rock is essentially <a href="/wiki/Limestone" title="Limestone">limestone</a> that was <a href="/wiki/Metamorphic_rock" title="Metamorphic rock">metamorphosed</a> by the heat and pressure of the formation and uplift of the <a href="/wiki/Sierra_Nevada_Batholith" title="Sierra Nevada Batholith">Sierra Nevada Batholith</a>. The batholith's rapid uplift over the past 10 million years led to a rapid erosion of the metamorphic rocks in the higher elevations, exposing the granite beneath; therefore, most Sierra Nevada caves are found in the middle and lower elevations (below 7,000 ft or 2,100 m), though some caves are found in the park at elevations as high as 10,000 ft (3,000 m) such as the White Chief cave and Cirque Cave in Mineral King. These caves are carved out of the rock by the abundant seasonal streams in the park. Most of the larger park caves have, or have had, sinking streams running through them. The park contains more than 270 known caves, including Lilburn Cave which is California's longest cave with nearly 17 miles (27 km) of surveyed passages.<a href="#cite_note-npsgeo-35">[35]</a> The only commercial cave open to park visitors is <a href="/wiki/Crystal_Cave_(Sequoia_National_Park)" title="Crystal Cave (Sequoia National Park)">Crystal Cave</a>, the park's second-longest cave at over 3.4 miles (5.5 km). Crystal Cave was discovered on April 28, 1918, by Alex Medley and Cassius Webster.<a href="#cite_note-Despain-36">[36]</a> The cave is a constant 48 °F (9 °C), and is only accessible by guided tour.
