Most of Yosemite National Park will be closed to the public starting Friday night as flood concerns awash the region, the park said.
The ramifications of California’s extreme winter and early spring weather continue. Most of Yosemite National Park will be closed to the public starting Friday night as flood concerns awash the region, the park announced Tuesday. Yosemite is expected to remain closed until Wednesday, May 3, “but could last longer,” the National Park Service said in the closure notice.
While the record snows were a relief in a state plagued by years of severe drought, that much in one season has also raised concerns for weeks now for flooding once the snows start to melt, creating something of a dripping time bomb. Meanwhile, snow is expected to persist at Yosemite and could remain well into July, the park said, warning hikers that trails are expected to be wet and muddy. Snow-covered trails could be difficult to follow, and hikers are urged to use maps and GPS to navigate.
