After high winds and snow flurries yesterday and last night Highway 120 over Tioga Pass is once again closed from Crane Flat through Yosemite National Park to three miles west of Highway 395.

Sonora Pass (Highway 108) and Ebbetts Pass (Highway 4) are also closed, but Highways 88, 89, and 50 are currently open. As you travel “over the river and through the woods” through the mountains this holiday season, be sure to check weather and road conditions for updates as conditions change quickly, and be sure to drive safely!
