Tuolumne Meadows Store Opening?

Post by commonloon »

I'm wondering if anyone has a guess at when it might open this year? I'm thinking I may be out of luck for my hike starting next week; I was hoping to do a little resupply there.

Thanks in advance.

Loon,
They still have not told us when to report.

The road, even though mostly clear, (except for the Olmsted Point avi section), they are just now starting to allow/ send in the Tuolumne set-up crews. The determining factor in all of this - getting the potable water turned on and that depends on the snow levels down around the Meadow's sewage evaporation pits.

Nobody is telling us anything yet, just that we have our store jobs, and it will take a few days after they get the canvas up and erect employee housing behind the store (We call it Club Med!)

before we then can move in... and restock the store.
Right now I'm guessing sometime before July 4th but...sorry.

Thanks! I figured as much.

Love the watercolors! My father happens to be a painter as well: https://www.upstairsartgallery.net/ron-sumner.html
