We made it to every part of the park; front country that is. There is a LOT of wilderness area still awaiting us.  Got in some pretty strenuous hiking and a bit of contemplative, relaxing strolling.  Experienced the no-frills dry camping and some “fancy” dining.  Saw the impact of sustained drought and the ensuing fires.  Saw the resilience of nature in not-long-ago burn areas carpeted with new seedlings.  Saw climbers’ lights at night, those folks are crazy dangling there in thin air.  During the ranger talk up on Glacier Point we learned about a 92 year evening tradition, firefall.  A burning campfire was pushed off the point after dark so the valley guests could witness the spectacle of embers cascading off the cliff.  “fire fall” was not a particularly National Park-like thing.   There were environmental concerns and crowd behavior issues so it came to an end about 40 years ago.  Some of the more senior guests still ask about the “fire fall”.   It must have been spectacular.
