Yosemite removes Firefall reservations, switching to first-come, first-served access.

Reservations are no longer accepted for Yosemite National Park's well-liked Firefall event, which brings thousands of people to Glacier Point every spring evening. The change, according to park officials, aims to improve access and lessen administrative burden, but traffic and overcrowding are still issues. First-come, first-served access will now be available for the event, in which park rangers push burning embers down a slope to create a glowing cascade. Visitors are advised by officials to arrive early and be ready for any delays.
