Glacier Point Road:
End location is Summit Meadow.
Plowing through 8 and 9 feet of snow.
Plowing operations will continue today
Note: Once the Glacier Point Road opens for the season, it will be open Saturdays and Sundays only through May 27. (It will also be open on May 21.) Beginning May 28, the road will be open every day until fall closing.
Tioga Road:
Tioga plowing operations were halted due to wet slab avalanche activity at the South Fork avalanche zone. With freezing temperatures forecast, plowing ops are expected to resume today.
By the way, there’s now a map of the approximate location of the plows up on the NPS site. How cool is that? It really helps you visualize where they’re at. Unfortunately it’s showing right now they’re approaching one of the most treacherous sections of the road, Olmsted Point
