Tuolumne Meadows Campgrounds is closed for the season.

And snow at Yosemite National Park is forecast today.

Winter is most beautiful at Yosemite Valley.

Not just because of the super tender and delicious lamb chop at Ahwahnee Hotel (now Majestic?).
  • I crossed over Tioga Pass going West yesterday (Sat) about noon. The ranger at the booth said:
    "This road will be closed at 4 p.m. today. Do not be on it after that" (or something similar).

    It was nice and sunny at the time. Guess they were being cautious.
  • I was there last winter camping in the village with my RV and I met a few veteran winter campers who hike there for tent camping.

    Yeah there is a trail up from the valley, indeed there is a ranger station manned up there somewhere in the winter. A pair (or couple) of rangers hike up from the valley. I assume they stock it up in the summer.
  • A “deal” has been made. The name is back...Ahwahnee Hotel.

    You have to be a tenter or have a darned small RV to get in there.


    Sorry, as edited, my notification from Yosemite NP says it's closed for the season.

    And yeah, you might not even get to Tuolomene as they usually close the Tioga Pass too.
