2014 Curry Village rock fall

A dust cloud dissipates as it rises up a steep rock cliff.

A rock fall from Glacier Point, directly behind (south of) Curry Village produced sharp cracking sounds. The source area was on the upper headwall of Glacier Point, from the east facing cliff below and west of the uppermost headwall.
