The General Plan must consider all the features and uses of the Park, from the heart of Big Basin itself, up 236 to Little Basin, and over the summit and down to the Coast at Rancho del Oso. This includes all the roads and trails, structures, infrastructure needs (sewer systems, water systems, maintenance), waterways and watersheds, and native flora and fauna – and defining lasting priorities.
