YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK, CA - - YOSAR is the acronym for YOsemite Search And Rescue, a vital department within the Public Safety unit in the Park. Here, one of the two YOSAR helicopters begins a descent into Ahwahnee Meadow with Half Dome looming in the background in the fading twilight. Both helos were being used in an operation at Yosemite Falls. We do not know the incident or the outcome of the operation, but seeing this helo hovering close to the sheer wall earlier in the evening certainly gave the impression it could be a tough rescue or body recovery.
