Pretty cool. You can chart how often people use various search terms. Here's "Yosemite" vs. "Joshua Tree".

Yosemite in blue. Note the seasonal variation.

without the label, or caption, or something, it's guesswork
whether December or June is the peak of Yosemite queries.

how reliable are the absolute trends---decreasing dramatically in the case of "rock climbing" (blue) and "mountaineering"?

I think it's safe to assume that the plot ends in Nov. 2007, so that would make June the peak.

What were the major news events that caused the news reference spike? Jan/Feb 2007? I just don't remember anything big.

RE: January 2007 news spike....

Efforts to safeguard the Merced have spawned a court battle over the future of development in Yosemite's most popular stretch. Ultimately, the case may come down to the challenge facing all of America's parks: Should they remain open to everyone, or should access be limited in the interest of protecting the very wilderness they aim to preserve?
