Tioga Road Opening 6/10

Post by maverick »

YNP:
Tioga Road (continuation of Highway 120 through the park) will open to the public on Monday, June 10 by 7 am. We are so excited to welcome visitors and staff back to the high country of Tuolumne Meadows.

Please make sure you are prepared and stocked up before setting off on your way to the high country. There is no food service or fuel available, and campgrounds aren’t open yet.

A reservation is required to drive into Yosemite on weekends and Juneteenth this month, every day from July 1 through August 16, then weekends and holidays through October 27—even if you are only passing through the park.

Bears, deer, marmots and birds have gotten accustomed to life without visitors, so please drive to posted speed limits and keep your eyes peeled for critters on the road. Mosquitoes, however, are eager for your return; bring long clothing if they bother you.

Be ready to encounter some snow and lots of water on trails, please stick to trails so as not to damage fragile ecosystems.
All of the things that make Tuolumne Meadows such a special destination also make it a challenging place to open each season. A huge thank you to all of our crews for their dedication to providing safe visitor access to Tioga Road for 2024.

Welcome back!

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.
