Information current as of: 5/20/2022.  Please check NWS for weather conditions and plan your travel accordingly.  We strive to keep this page up to date with seasonal closures, but please also reference the snow removal link to review our snow removal policy and priorities.

Seasonal Closures:

Virginia Lakes Road:  Open

Saddlebag Lake Road: Open (check Caltrans page for status of 120W)

Lundy Lake Road: Open 

​Rock Creek Road: Open

NOTE: Many Forest Service roads ARE STILL impassable in wheeled vehicles. Although certain sections of roads may be dry, large snow drifts exist in the upper elevations and shaded locations, and are impassable in wheeled vehicles. Check local weather forecasts before any visits to remote areas, and be prepared.

Actual road closures and activity will be updated periodically – please consider these notices as warnings, and plan accordingly. Contact the Town of Mammoth Lakes for the status of roads within the town's limits [1] (760-934-8054). Currently, Mono County does not manage snow removal in that area.

Please check https://roads.dot.ca.gov/roadscell.php  for [2] current information on the status of Caltrans maintained roads.  

Tioga: 

Tioga Road (the continuation of Highway 120 through the park) is scheduled to open to vehicular traffic on Friday, May 27, 2022, at 9:00 a.m. A reservation will be required to drive into *or through* Yosemite between 6 am and 4 pm through September 30; this includes travelers passing through the park on Tioga Road. Visit https://go.nps.gov/reserve [3] for more information.

Road work has already begun in the Tenaya Lake and Tuolumne Meadows areas. Expect delays of up to 30 minutes during the day and one hour at night from Sunday nights through Friday afternoons.

Glacier Point Road is closed this year due to a major road rehabilitation project.

Tioga Road will be open to bicycles on May 21 and 22 only. (A reservation is still required unless entering the park by bicycle.) Cyclists should expect administrative traffic on the road. The road will be closed to bicycles May 23 through 26 due to construction and hazardous conditions.
