John Muir Trail rock fall

A rock slide originating from just below the south rim of the canyon damaged several switchbacks of the John Muir Trail between Nevada Fall and Clark's Point. Hundreds of boulders came to rest on the trail, two areas of trail sustained deep impact craters, and several old-growth Douglas Firs were snapped or toppled by rock impacts.
