FYI, for those planning to stay there while visiting Yosemite, to be aware of more limited availability.

The National Park Service said Friday it will close part of a popular lodging complex at Yosemite National Park because an unstable cliff has created the potential for deadly rockfall.

Park officials said 233 cabins will close permanently, or about one-third of the lodging units available at Curry Village to park visitors. About half of the 618 cabins have been off-limits since a rockfall on the historic complex Oct. 8.
