This resulted in the temporary closure of many of the visitor accommodations until a thorough geologic assessment could be completed. During this time, National Park Service (NPS) geologists, in collaboration with the U.S. Geological Survey, and other national and international scientists, conducted extensive investigation and study of rockfalls that have occurred in the area above Curry Village using the latest scientific mapping and computer modeling techniques. The analysis has shown that approximately 6,000 cubic meters of rock were involved in the events. 7860949a-e743-7acc-bf05-33546abf61e8 Fri, 21 Nov 2008 21:04:35 GMT Glacier Point Road to Open in Yosemite National Park http://www.nps.gov/yose/parknews/gproad1108.htm The Glacier Point Road in Yosemite National Park will open for all vehicles on Friday, November 21, 2008, at 8:00 a.m. 66ee7d33-4909-1812-eaea-81baecc7c1cc Fri, 21 Nov 2008 00:25:38 GMT Yosemite National Park Announces Public Scoping for the Parkwide Communication Data Network Environmental Assessment http://www.nps.gov/yose/parknews/pcdn-scoping.htm Yosemite National Park is announcing the public scoping period for the Parkwide Data Communication Network Environmental Assessment (EA).
