Tioga, Glacier Point Roads Closed To Wheeled Vehicles In Yosemite National Park

By NPT Staff - December 2nd, 2016

Winter has brought closure to the Tioga and Glacier Point roads in Yosemite National Park for the winter.

A recent series of storm systems that passed through the Yosemite area over the past several weeks brought snow throughout the park, officials said Thursday. These roads close to wheeled vehicles each fall and remain closed throughout the winter months until weather conditions permit reopening in the spring. They are open to snowshoers and cross-country skiers.

Yosemite, located in the Sierra Nevada in California, is open year-round with snow removal on all other roads within the park. Highway 120 West, Highway 140, and Highway 41 remain open year-round and provide access to Yosemite Valley. The Hetch Hetchy Road is open for day use throughout the winter months.

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, call 209-372-0200.
