When will Sierra passes open?
|
What’s your guess? |
|
Rumor is that 108 opens Thursday, plowing has been complete for a week or so - waiting on road/sign repairs. |

I wanna hear guesses on Tioga... Seems somewhat imminent given the plowing been complete already. |
|
108 opening on Thursday, and 4 is open now. Great time to live in Angel's Camp! =P |
|
Tioga likely to be open for Memorial Day holiday, but wouldnt be surprised if it was pushed to the first week of June. Weather will play a role for sure - keep your fingers crossed for high pressure and clear skies! |

Glacier point opened this weekend and the NPS site said they had the road plowed all the way to tioga as of May 5. I would think they would open it for Memorial Day. That would be almost 3 weeks after they cleared the road to get the other things done. I'm hoping to drive through Tioga on the first of June. We'll see |

google maps and my caltrans app still shows highway 4 as closed. |

I drove over Ebbotts Pass last weekend. And Caltrans shows it open, now how about that? I dunno about any Caltrans apps. I dunno about putting any app from the state of California on my phone. I don't trust the bastards! Go with the Caltrans website instead: Caltrans Road Conditions site

thanks. now i don't trust my google or my stupid CA511 app, |
|
Anyone know what the snowpack is in Kings Canyon/Sequoia? Did they have an average winter? Was thinking of heading into the back country out of Mineral King in second week of June but maybe too early? |
|
Tioga opens Monday at 8am |
|
And they just reopened crane flat campground for the first time in several years. I just booked a site yesterday |

Fyi. on the Inn Fire, which started Thursday afternoon and currently has 395 closed north of Lee Vining. https://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/fire-burns-california-mountain-town-20343034.php |
