Nearby Soda Springs stands this simple but beautifully rugged cabin built in 1915 from local granite. It initially served as a Sierra Club meeting room and was named for Edward Taylor Parsons (1861–1914), an adventurer and active Sierra Club member who helped found the club’s outings program. Today it opens as a shelter during thunderstorms (there’s a huge fireplace inside), as well as for special events, ranger talks and other programs. See Yosemite Guide for the current schedule.
