Areas Closed due to RIM fire re-open - KCRA news

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (KCRA) —Yosemite National Park reopened areas that were previously off-limits to the public because of the large Rim Fire, which consumed 255,000 acres of forest land last summer.
Tuolumne Grove of Giant Sequoias and hiking trails in the Hetch Hetchy area are now open, the National Park Service said Wednesday.

Visitors are being alerted of possible hazards in the area, including uneven ground, potential rockfall and downed debris and trees.
Fire restrictions are also rescinded.
