Wow. We were there Sunday night to cap off an amazing weekend.
Feeling a little extra blessed after reading that story.
The line to enter the park was extremely long as we left Monday morning.
I feel sorry for those that went exclusively to see the firefall.

Do you know if it is closed due to damage or are they just being cautious?
