The Mariposa Grove reopened 6-15-18 to the public again. Has anyone been up to the grove since the reopening? Just wondering what your thoughts are on how it turned out. I'll be heading there to check it out. They have a new parking lot by the south entrance, then in the grove a small parking lot and in the upper grove a small parking lot near the grizzly giant by where the vault restroom was reserved for handicap accessible parking. New running water restrooms in lower grove. New board walk to walk on at the lower grove near the fallen monarch, asphalt road torn out, no more trams etc. Gift shop removed from the grove and new gift shop by south entrance? Wanting to go see the new changes in person, and also visit some of the other groves in the park again soon, its been a while. Used to work for the NPS for a good number of years, have many fond memories.
