Demonstrators unfurled the flag against El Capitan to protest the Trump administration's cuts to the National Park Service.

Nature lovers flock to Yosemite National Park every February to witness the majestic "firefall" event, but this year’s crowds were met a different spectacle: an upside-down American flag hung on a summit to protest the Trump administration’s cuts of national park service employees.

The flag was reportedly hung over the side of El Capitan as a sign of protest by Yosemite employees concerned about the recent downsizing carried out as part of the Trump administration’s cost-cutting initiatives.

An American flag was hung upside down on El Capitan at Yosemite National Park on Saturday following the firing of about 1,000 National Park Service employees.
