Yosemite National Park will remain closed indefinitely as parts of the park were buried in up to 15 feet of snow. California Gov. Newsom declared a state of emergency in 13 counties.
The latest storms in an unusually difficult winter for California forced Yosemite National Park to remain closed indefinitely on Thursday as parts of the park were buried in up to 15 feet of snow.
Yosemite, one of the state’s most famous landmarks, has been closed since Saturday after snowstorms moved through the area, according to the National Park Service. A Yosemite spokesman said Thursday that the agency hasn’t set a reopening date because park crews still need to clear roads, dig out walkways and remove snow from roofs.
