Yosemite Blog » Blog Archive » Late Night Rockfall Rattles Curry Village:

“A small rockfall occurred at 2:53 am on Saturday, June 9 behind Curry Village. The release point for the rockfall was ~550 meters (1800 feet) above the Valley floor, at the top of Staircase Falls. A rock about 20 cubic meters in size (60 tons) fell down the path of Staircase Falls, sweeping additional debris down with it.

It’s easy to think of these things as simply entropy in action, until you realize you were there just a few weeks ago, and you know where this happened…

A not-so-quiet (to those there) reminder that Yosemite Valley isn’t tamed, merely occupied.
