2. Crossover For El Capitan 2.5

El Capitan Crossover (the road connecting Northside and Southside Drives near El Capitan) will be open to vehicles, but parking, stopping, and unloading passengers will be prohibited. Why are these restrictions in effect? Historically, the sunset backlight on Horsetail Fall was little known. El Capitan is an operetta in three acts by John Philip Sousa and has a libretto by Charles Klein. The piece was Sousa's first successful operetta and his most successful stage work. The march 'El Capitan' became a standard work both for brass bands and a crossover into other genres. El Capitan was first produced at the Tremont Theatre in Boston, beginning on April 13, 1896.
