No Date Yet for Tioga Road Opening
The Park Service people are maintaining their inscrutability regarding the opening date of Tioga Road. They continue to maintain that no opening date has been set yet but that it could be late June (a foregone conclusion) or early July.
A July opening is a possibility – it has happened – but pretty darn late given that all of the other Sierra passes have been open for weeks now, including Sonora Pass which is nearly as high.
If I had to bet, I might go for sometime late next week. It sounds like the road has been essentially plowed out for a while now, but that there are problematic spots. Today I saw a photo on the Yosemite National Park site showing snow on the road near Olmstead Point. However, beyond the obvious snow is a lot of uncovered granite.
