Taken from the article on the western wildfires on cnn.com:

“In California, more than 400 firefighters battled a blaze that has consumed
17,000 acres of the 2 million-acre Inyo National Forest east of Yosemite
National Park, forest spokeswoman Nancy Upham said Saturday. Firefighters
were searching for and evacuating hikers and backpackers on and near the
popular trail to Mount Whitney, the tallest peak in the lower 48 states.

At least 200 people from the small town of Independence were evacuated,
officials said, and a section of Highway 395, which runs along the eastern
spine of the HYPERLINK "http://topics.cnn.com/topics/sierra_nevada"Sierra
Nevada mountain range, was closed. Campgrounds and a lodge had been
evacuated, Upham said.”
