LOS ANGELES—For the past two weeks, a wildfire has forced much of Yosemite National Park in California to close, with smoke blanketing its famous rock formations and clouding the summer travel season for one of the largest tourism economies tied to a U.S. park.
Steven Anker, 53, has seen business decrease by 80 percent at his Priest Station Café in nearby Groveland.“People come to Yosemite to see the outdoors. If the air quality is bad, they just won’t go,” Anker said.
