For those wanting to enter Yosemite National Park from the Owens Valley on the east, Tioga Pass and Tioga Road will be reopening this coming Friday.
The Union Democrat reported:
The annual spring-summer reopening of Tioga Road — Highway 120 in Yosemite National Park — is planned to occur at 9 a.m. Friday, park authorities announced last week.
Tioga Road and Tioga Pass, the state’s highest paved route over the Central Sierra crest, are closed every winter due to snow. Tioga Pass has been closed since Oct. 21.
Tioga Road provides access for motorists to multiple features in the north half of the park, which lies within Tuolumne County, including the Tuolumne Grove of Giant Sequoias, Tuolumne Meadows, and Mount Dana.
Along with the announcement about Tioga Pass, the article also mentions that reservations to enter Yosemite are required, so visitors should read up first before going.
