Slide Threat Permanently Closes Many Yosemite Cabins

Yosemite's Curry Village has now lost over one-third of its cabin capacity, as 233 of the Village's 618 cabins will be closed permanently due to danger from possible rock slides.

A major slide from Glacier Point hit the park on October 8th.

The number of hotel rooms and cabins has steadily decreased at Yosemite in recent years.

The L.A. Times reports it could take over half a decade to build new accommodations due to judicial restrictions on park construction...yet another example of a judge who has a one-man kingdom, making law from the bench.

Meanwhile, the large reduction in room capacity means it's going to be much more difficult for visitors to Yosemite to book reservations.
