Yosemite firefall: No reservations, new rules

Yosemite’s famous firefall is back this February—without the reservation system that’s kept crowds in check the last few years. Instead, rangers are rolling out stricter parking and walking rules, hoping to avoid chaos as thousands flock to see Horsetail Fall glow like molten lava at sunset. Expect to park farther away and walk about 1.5 miles in winter conditions, so bring warm gear and a flashlight. Some roads and river areas will be off-limits to both cars and pedestrians. Do you think these new rules will help, or is it going to be a mess out there? #Travel #Yosemite #Firefall
