This image obtained September 10, 2014 courtesy of NASA Earth Observatory/ Yosemite National Park and acquired September 8, 2014 shows a fire in Yosemite National Park. A small wildfire had been burning in Yosemite for weeks before it suddenly quadrupled in size in early September due to strong winds and high temperatures. Park authorities needed helicopters to evacuate dozens of visitors from back-country locations on September 7, 2014, including 85 climbers airlifted from the summit of Half Dome and approximately 100 hikers picked up from campgrounds in Little Yosemite Valley. A wildfire in Yosemite National Park has closed access to the towering Half Dome, one of the most famous landmarks in the world-renowned tourist venue park, officials said September 7, 2014. Millions of visitors flock to Yosemite every year, many hiking up trails onto the vast rock formation which overlooks Yosemite Valley. But the Meadow Fire, which broke out September 7, 2014 and has some 330 firefighters tackling it, has forced park authorities to close a number of trails, including those leading up the back of Half Dome.
