Once school is out for the summer, Ardith Clark loved nothing better than to ride next to her father on his stagecoach runs to Yosemite National Park. There she met and became friends with several young people who live in the park full-time, including the Leonard sisters. However, as she closes in on adulthood, she realizes another form of transportation is threatening to make her father’s job obsolete. Her dismay over the coming of the Yosemite Valley Railroad conflicts with her growing friendship with one of the assistant rail company engineers.

After the death of his father, J. B. ‘Mack’ McManus was forced to quit college without earning his degree in engineering. To help support his family and earn money toward the final year he needs to graduate, he accepts a job as a foreman overseeing grading rail bed and constructing the bridges needed to complete the rail line between Merced and El Portal, just outside the Yosemite National Park. The last thing he needs is the distraction provided by cute and quirky redhead and her interest in how the railroad construction is progressing.
