Tioga Road and Glacier Point Road Update

Post by maverick »

YNP:
Tioga Road (continuation of Highway 120 through the park) and Glacier Point Road will open Thursday afternoon (November 9) as conditions allow. The National Weather Service is forecasting a potential for significant snow early next week, so additional closures (and chain requirements on other roads) are possible then.

For current road conditions, including closures and any active chain restrictions, please call our road status phoneline anytime at 209/372-0200 (then press 1 and 1 again).

I don't give out specific route information, my belief is that it takes away from the whole adventure spirit of a trip, if you need every inch planned out, you'll have to get that from someone else.
