Re: Tioga Road is open

I called at 10 am and all roads in park are now open without restrictions, except for the Mariposa Grove Road which is closed for renovations.

Yippee!

It looks like the weather will hold up for the next couple of weeks or so. Don't see any precipitation or storms on the horizon. Yosemite Fall webcam indicates that the effects of the recent storm have been reduced significantly. But most of the snow at higher elevations will remain at this point.

Wow, I was wrong on this one. I was thinking Tioga would not reopen until spring. Now I can go get some more obsidian.

Darn, I was there this weekend and it was closed.
