Wildfire, pandemic, gas prices, repeat: It’s been a tough run for Yosemite businesses
As a wildfire continues to burn in Yosemite National Park, nearby businesses dependent on tourism are seeing waves of cancelations in just the latest of many recent economic hits in the area.
The Washburn Fire has burned more than 4,300 acres near one of the park’s most popular attractions, the Mariposa Grove of Giant Sequoias. The human-caused fire was 23 percent contained Thursday.
