YNP:
Glacier Point Road will be open weekends only starting July 1. The road will be open:
-July 1 from 6 am through July 4 at 10 pm
-July 8 from 6 am through July 9 at 10 pm
Glacier Point Road will open seven days per week, 24 hours per day, starting July 15 at 6 am. Expect 30-minute delays, Monday through Friday, 6 am to 9 pm.
Parking at Glacier Point and throughout the park is limited. Arrive early in the morning to avoid long delays and full parking lots.
Services may be limited. Vault toilets will be available this weekend. Drinking water may not be available this weekend: be prepared with plenty of water.
Sections of trails in the Glacier Point Road area will still be wet and muddy, with snow persisting at the higher elevations (e.g., Ostrander Lake). If you want to go backpacking, wilderness permits are now available one week in advance (not the day before, as in the past). Visit https://www.nps.gov/yose/planyourvisit/wpres.htm for more information or go to https://www.recreation.gov/permits/445859 to make a reservation.
Tioga Road (continuation of Highway 120 through the park) will not be open for the Independence Day holiday.
