According to the National Park Service, Tioga Pass will remain closed until late May. There is no specific date when the road will be passable. The current snow line is at about 6,000 feet and the pass is just over 9,900 feet. At the right is a current picture at Tioga Pass. They are planning to begin clearing the road on April 15th. To see a webcam of Tioga Pass and other keys locations in the park, go to the Yosemite Association's website. Tioga Pass is the main east entrance to the park and many of our clients that are taking a one-way RV trip from Las Vegas to San Francisco use this road.
There also is a report from the NPS that a sizable rock fall has occurred. According to the NPS, "The southern portion of the Mirror Lake Loop is closed due to a rockslide. (Access to Mirror Lake and Snow Creek Trail is still available, as usual.)".
