Tioga road gaat dit weekend eindelijk open!

Goed nieuws!

Het rapport op de website van de national park service meldt dat de Tioga pas dit weekend zal opengaan. Echter voor de vroege vakantiegangers is er nog wat meer geduld en zon nodig want het wilt niet zeggen dat als de weg open is, dat de campings en hikingtrails al sneeuwvrij zijn...

From the NPS Yosemite website:

"The Tioga Road will open on Saturday, June 18, 2011, at 8 am.
There will be several no-stopping zones and visitors should be aware that hiking opportunities are extremely limited due to snow and dangerous creek crossings. No services will be available along the road. (View a list of opening dates from previous years.)


Beginning Friday, June 10, the Tioga Road will be open to (non-motorized) bicycles from Crane Flat to Olmsted Point. There will be no access beyond Olmsted Point due to the avalanche zone just east of Olmsted Point. From the east, the road is open to bikes from US 395 to the west end of Tuolumne Meadows. It will be signed accordingly. Please be on the lookout for debris falling into the road and administrative vehicles travelling back and forth."
