This might be Yosemite’s worst birthday ever.
The national park turns 123 on Tuesday, the same day that a government shutdown will close the park to all visitors.
Google celebrated Yosemite’s big day by creating a lovely Google Doodle depicting Yosemite badges to honor one of the nation’s favorite parks. Sadly, the anniversary comes at a time when no visitors will be able to visit the Half Dome, El Capitan, or Yosemite Falls.
Oh, Yosemite. It’s your party, you can cry if you want to.
