I just called them and they said they are still open but the river levels are very low at the moment. As for rafting rentals they said they will be keeping them open as long as they can but at the moment it is iffy day by day. As of today, they are renting. Tomorrow, who knows...... I'll be in the Valley on Monday and hope to rent a raft for the kids. They'll be disappointed if they're cloby imzeppy - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion
The USGS Gage at Happy Isles Bridge read 5.85 ft as of 11:30 am this morning. I know the level has dropped significantly due to the cool weather. It was at 7.5 just two days ago. It's now heating up so I was just curious as to what eyes in the valley have seen lately.by imzeppy - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion
A friend called me this morning and told me that. Then today I read this link. There is no date on it but it does say 2011 at the bottom so I'm not sure how current it is.. Just trying to get a read on curretn conditions. http://www.myyosemite.com/content/yosemite-valley-merced-river-now-open-raftingby imzeppy - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion
Does anyone know when they might open the raft rental stand at Curry Village? I heard the river is now open to rafting if you have your own raft. I suspect with the hot weather coming up the river may rise and close again. I will be camping at Upper Pines from July 10-17 and the kids are disappointed the river may be closed. Any information would be appreciated.by imzeppy - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion
