Published Date

October 28, 2016

With several major storms expected to hit California's Sierras this weekend, Yosemite National Park officials will close the Tioga Road at 3 p.m. and the Glacier Point Road at 5 p.m. on Saturday. These closures will be in place until further notice.

Tioga Road typically closes each fall and remains closed throughout the winter months. The road reopens when weather and road conditions permit in the spring. Yosemite National Park is open year-round with snow removal on all other roads within the park.

All roads within the park are subject to chain control or temporary closures due to hazardous driving conditions. All motorists are required to carry tire chains, even if their car is equipped with four-wheel drive, while driving in the park during the winter months.

For updated 24-hour road and weather conditions for Yosemite National Park, please call 209-372-0200
