Yosemite National Park Reopens August 14th

Yosemite National Park reopens tomorrow, August 14th, following it’s closure July 25th due to thick smoke from the Ferguson Fire. Wawona Road, also known as Highway 41 will remain closed from Wawona to Yosemite Valley for at least another week due to ongoing fire activity and firefighter operations. Park visitors should be aware that there is still active fire and smoke on the roads and people should drive with extreme caution. You may experience some traffic delays, and keep in mind that there’ll be limited hours and limited visitor services at park facilities as the park returns to normal operations.
