Yosemite National Park will begin to reopen Saturday with limited access and hours, the US National Park Service has announced. The park remains closed today. The popular park, nestled in the Sierra Nevada mountains, was closed because of a series of damaging storms that have swept across the region in recent weeks. Since February 21, the park has seen more than 15 feet of snow at Tuolumne Meadows, higher than the average single story house. Warmer storms left behind 21 inches of rain.
The park plans to expand to 24 hours in the Yosemite Valley on Monday, with limited overnight lodging. Campgrounds will remain closed as they are still buried in snow. Visitors are cautioned to be ready with warm, waterproof clothing and vehicle chains as more weather is aimed for the area. Other national and state park sites Yosemite hasn’t been the only park in California that’s been affected by these winter storms.
