Firefalls 2008: Follow up.
Our friend Tom Lambert has a post up on his blog, YosemiteExplorer.com about the Royal Arches fire; In a nutshell, a fire was spotted on Monday night at that spot.

Video – swiftwater rescue training

Photo of the Day: Nevada Falls by Brian Helfrich
Today’s Photo of the Day comes to us from Brian who contributes to Yosemite Blog from time to time. It’s a great shot of the top of Nevada Falls. I’m tempted to ask if you were behind the safety railing but…I don’t want to know. Great photo Brian. Photo by Brian Helfrich via Flickr.
