El Portal Road (HWY 140) Closed 1/7/16

Post by maverick »

Yosemite NP:
The El Portal Road (continuation of Highway 140 into Yosemite Valley from El Portal) is closed due to rockfall. Access to Yosemite Valley is still possible via Big Oak Flat and Wawona Roads. Call 209/372-0200 (then dial 1 then 1) for any updates.

That will be a lot of fun to remove.

I don't give out specific route information, my belief is that it takes away from the whole adventure spirit of a trip, if you need every inch planned out, you'll have to get that from someone else.

Have a safer backcountry experience by using the HST ReConn Form 2.0, named after Larry Conn, a HST member: http://reconn.org
