Things aren't as majestic as usual these days in Yosemite National Park. Sure Half Dome and El Capitan are still stunning, but Bloomberg reports issues with hospitality are piling up to the point it's becoming dangerous for visitors and park workers.
The blame seems to be pointed at Aramark, the private contractor that runs the developed portions of the park. The National Park Service’s latest evaluation of Aramark's service said they're "extremely concerned that the years of neglect in maintaining assets has directly impacted visitor safety. They're particularly concerned about the state of the Wawona Hotel and The Ahwahnee Hotel, National Historic Landmarks."
For more on the conditions in the park, KCBS Radio anchor Patti Reising was joined by Laura Bliss, the Bloomberg reporter who has written all about the issues. This is The State of California.
