Re: Road To May Lake

Tioga Road is open, does anyone know if the road to the parking lot below May Lake has been plowed?

This info was in the 21 July Wilderness Conditions report:

- White Wolf and May Lake Roads are closed, with no estimated opening date. May Lake road needs to dry out before it can sustain vehicles, so maybe some time before it opens.

Guess that doesn't specifically state whether or not the road has been plowed. But definitely still closed.

Hadn't seen that, thanks.

you might want to check and find out if this is a "hard" closure, forbidding pedestrians. depending on how far you are going, not a long walk from tioga road to the lot, about two miles as the crow flies.

Scheduled to be there in two weeks, will find out then. There's no indication that either trail from Tioga Road to May Lake (from the quarry, or from the road between Olmstead and Tenaya Lake) is closed.

May Lake Road opened this weekend (7/29). I drove up on Sunday and didn't see any signs indicating the road was closed, so I asked at the TM Wilderness Center and they said it had just opened up.

Thanks for the information! Am looking forward to being in YNP for several days next week.
