| Description |
A postcard featuring the entrance to Camp Curry in Yosemite National Park, California, circa 1915-1930. In the background, the "firefall" is visible. Caption reads: "Each night during the summer season, for the pleasure of their guests and all visitors to Yosemite, the management of Camp Curry have established a gorgeous spectacular custom. A huge bon fire is built on Glacier Point 3,200 feet directly above the Camp. At the conclusion of their nightly camp fire entertainment the burning embers are pushed from the point above, and this cataract of fire and sparks make a sheer drop of over 2,000 feet before striking any obstacles, a sight long to be remembered." Postcard numbers: 328 and 92660.
