Yosemite National Park, California. Current NPS page last updated October 30, 2026, retaining the October 29 temporary closure announcement. This case does not retain October 29 source bytes, establish live road observations, or supply a reopening time.
NPS’s October 30 table marks Tioga Road and Glacier Point Road Closed after the announced October 29 snow closure. Other approaches have separate status. Call the recorded road line before driving; no reopening time is verified here. [1] [2] [3]
Still open: No live road observations, road-line call or reopening time. All open questions ↓

The reporting question: Can you rely on Yosemite’s road-status labels for today’s drive?
What the park announced
The current page retains temporary snow-closure notices for 6 p.m. October 29 and bans overnight parking along the two roads and their lots. This is a road-specific notice; it does not establish that every park entrance is closed. [1] [3]
Read the date beside the status
Both road labels say Closed on the page last updated October 30. A website table is not an observation of conditions on the ground. We have not called the recorded road line, and no reopening time is verified here. [2] [3]
Check your actual approach
Call 209/372-0200, press 1 then 1, immediately before travel. NPS separately lists Wawona, El Portal and Big Oak Flat roads as Open, but says the table does not provide the most current road information. [3]
