Tioga Road in Yosemite National Park to open Friday, May 2 at Noon


Date: May 1, 2014

 Visitors urged to take safety precautions while traveling on road

The Tioga Road in Yosemite National Park will open for the season tomorrow,
tomorrow, Friday, May 2, 2014, at noon for all vehicular 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. Limited visitor services will be available over
the next several weeks.

Due to a light snowpack this past winter (approximately 30% of normal), the
Tioga Road was cleared of snow early into the 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 in the early
season.

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.
