Re: When will the Tuolumne Meadows store open?

I know that it is usually a while after the road opens and before the campground. Anybody have the inside scoop?

I am asking because I will be arriving in Yosemite Valley by YARTS on Tuesday 5/13. Planning to backpack to Tuolumne and environs, and then back down to the valley, out for a week, maybe more. It would be great to be able to top up supplies in the store.

It should be soon. I drove by today and it looks like they got the tent covering up. They just have to put the insides back in. I'd say they'd be done by Memorial day, but not next Tuesday.

Thanks for the info Dave.
If the tent covering is up I think there would be some chance that they open next weekend. That will be four days into my trip. By that time I will be ready for a snack, some ice cream and the opportunity to top off my supplies with a couple of freeze dried meals. If they are not yet open I will just return to the valley, and if they are I will have the opportunity to stretch out my trip a bit.

To answer my own question: no the store is not yet open.
As Dave pointed out the tent covering is up. When I peeked in this past weekend, the shelves were not yet stocked.

Since the pass closed today, it may take a few minutes to get to that.

It doesn't look good for tomorrow either.
