Re: Glacier Point Road

The Glacier Point Road was opened to adminstrative traffic yesterday. Might we see it opened for the rest of use by this weekend?

That is very good news to hear! Thanks for keeping everyone so informed!

According to the website, Glacier Point Road opens tomorrow (May 4th) at noon.

Don't count on it. There's a storm coming in tomorrow.

It was a nice thought but that last storm kept it closed. The road should open soon though. Maybe even tomorrow?

The website says Glacier Point Road is open May 5th:

"The Glacier Point Road will open on May 5, 2007 at noon, conditions permitting (a few inches of snow fell on May 4)."

I called earlier today (which is May 5th. It wasn't open.

Never mind. It shows as open now.

It's certainly open and free of snow:

Glacier Point Road to Open in Yosemite National Park
Date: May 3, 2007

The Glacier Point Road will open to visitors on May 4, 2007 at noon. Glacier Point is located about 30 miles from Yosemite Valley off the Wawona Road, the section of State Highway 41 inside the park. Limited services are available at Glacier Point, including portable toilets and hand washing stations.

There is no projected opening date for the Bridalveil Creek campground.

Roadways may be wet due to ice and melting snow and wildlife is very active on the Glacier Point Road. Visitors are advised to drive with caution.

An opening date for the Tioga Road, the section of State Highway 120 which crosses the Sierra Nevada through Yosemite National Park, has yet to be determined.
