tiogaTioga Road to Open in Yosemite National Park
Visitors urged to take safety precautions while traveling on road

Yosemite National Park Superintendent Don Neubacher announced today that the
Tioga Road will open for the season on Monday, May 7, 2012 at 12:00 p.m. for
all vehicle traffic. The Tioga Road, bounded on both sides by State Highway
120, is the popular east-west crossing of the Sierra Nevada.

Vault toilets are available in several locations along the road. However,
due to damage sustained to two transmission lines, the Tuolumne Meadows area
will be without electrical power and visitor services until repairs can be
made.

Due to a light snowpack this past winter (approximately 50% of normal), the
Tioga Road was able to be cleared of snow early into the summer season.

Snow and icy conditions may still exist on hiking trails at the higher
elevations. Visitors are urged to be prepared for snowy conditions and
possible treacherous stream crossings while hiking the backcountry.

All campgrounds along the Tioga Road are closed. All commercial services,
including the gas station, store, and village grill, are also closed.
There are no anticipated opening dates for any of these facilities at this
time.
