Found a box of my mom's slides from a road trip she made to the Sierra in 1956 when she was 14. This is Glacier Point with the Firefall coals pile.The two gals in the middle are my mother and her sister.

Very nice. Thanks for posting. Maybe this should go in an archive somewhere. It's too good to be lost.

Thanks for sharing the pic; that must have been amazing for your mom to see live.
I'd guess most people here have seen this, but for those who haven't, here's an episode of California's Gold with Huell Howser (miss that show like hell since moving out of California) explaining the firefall:
