Yosemite Evacuated Over Fire Fears.

 

A wildfire burning out of control close to Yosemite National Park has caused a massive evacuation at the park.

Rangers went to each campsite and hotels let their guests know they needed to leave immediately. Summer is peak season at the park of course.

Firefighters continue to battle the blaze amind 120-degree temperatures.

The entire Yosemite Valley will be closed until at least Sunday leaving scores of disappointed tourists. Over a thousand reservations were canceled.
