Yosemite reopens on Saturday but only partially and only for day use. And with another atmospheric river in the forecast next week, the park could close again.
“This has been a herculean effort by crews of the National Park Service and Yosemite Hospitality,” park spokesperson Scott Gediman told SFGATE on Friday. “They’ve been clearing roads, clearing walkways around the buildings and digging out fire hydrants.”
Yosemite National Park employees have worked under harsh conditions to reopen the park after record-setting snow totals. Much of the park has yet to be plowed.The road inside Yosemite Valley to the popular Tunnel View, along with the overlook itself, will be open to visitors. But drivers cannot continue through the tunnel to Wawona, Gediman added.
Hetch Hetchy, which will open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. beginning Saturday, will only be accessible on Highway 120 west of Yosemite and Evergreen Road. All other roads and areas of the park, including Big Oak Flat and Wawona roads, will remain closed.
