Yosemite National Park reports

Glacier Point Road opened earlier today and will remain open until 6 pm on Saturday, May 25. At that time, it will close due to an incoming storm. We will evaluate the road once conditions improve.

Expect cloudy conditions at Glacier Point (we don’t have a current photo because the view became cloudy this afternoon). Additionally, expect all trails leaving from the road to be snowy.

This storm may also result in chain requirements on park roads. If you encounter a “chains required sign,” do not proceed unless you have chains in possession or installed (depending on what the sign indicates). Call 209/372-0200 (then 1, 1) to check on road status.
