Tioga Pass Rd. remains closed and may not open again this year

Yosemite National Park reports:

“The Glacier Point Road in Yosemite National Park is closed for the season due to ice and snow.  The road is currently closed at the Chinquapin and Wawona Road (Highway 41) junction, and will open to Badger Pass once the ski area becomes open.

The Tioga Road remains closed at this time due to ice and snow.  A winter storm is expected in the Yosemite region Thursday evening and into Friday morning.  Over the weekend, the road will be reassessed and there is a slight possibility it will reopen.  If the road reopens, the park will issue a news release.”
