Yosemite NP - many parts closed due to fire
'Yosemite Valley, Wawona, and Mariposa Grove are closed at least July 25–July 29 due to fire operations. South Entrance will be also closed. Tioga Road and Tuolumne Meadows, including Big Oak Flat and Tioga Pass entrances, and Hetch Hetchy remain open.' (from the national park website just now)

I am surprised that it has taken them so long to decide to do this. Thousands of tourists in the park, very limited number of roads in and out, unbreathable air. And it seems like the Ferguson Fire is just getting worse every day.
Hwy 140, the main route in from the west, has been closed for days.
