The Meadow Fire erupted on August 7, 2014 in Little Yosemite Valley, just behind the iconic peaks of Half Dome, Clouds Rest, Mount Broderick, and Liberty Cap, along the Merced River. High winds fanned the flames up to 2,400 acres before this picture, just as thunderstorms began rolling in from the south.
