Mt. Whitney Portal Store & Hostel Forums General Mt. Whitney Portal Store Message Board Tioga Road decision by this evening

Yosemite rangers will announce by tonight whether Tioga pass will be open for this upcoming weekend. Here's hoping!

YES!

Thinking +!

Have fun.

As much as I'd like to see the Tioga Road open by Memorial Day for all the tourists, in the interest of safety and in light of this long winter, it'd be better to remain closed.

Maybe open first week of June or something...

Tioga Road:
The Tioga Road will not be open for Memorial Day weekend; there is no estimated opening date.

Mike, what you're quoting here is dated May 20. The link at the top of this thread says May 25. I'm still holding out hope it will be open for this weekend. Of course any trip up that way also includes a stop at the Mobil Station for dinner too

Sadly, it is not opening this weekend:
