Highway 120 east of Tioga Pass is closed due to a fire
Highway 120 east of Tioga Pass is closed due to a fire. Yosemite National Park, including the Tioga Road inside the park, is open. However, there is no access to Yosemite from the east via US 395. All other park entrances are open.

The Rough Fire is burning on the Sierra National Forest, the Sequoia National Forest and Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Parks. Fire Managers are working in concert with these agencies to safely suppress the fire while insuring the safety of the public and firefighters. In order to overcome the challenges of the fire being located in steep, inaccessible terrain, firefighters are utilizing the natural barriers (rock outcroppings) available to them in their arsenal of suppression tactics. The fire will continue to move slowly towards control lines, on the north and east flanks. Helicopters are being utilized to moderate fire behavior to prevent long range spotting.
Due to the high values at risk, additional resources have been ordered for the defense of the Hume Lake Christian Camp and surrounding summer cabins.
Fire activity was moderate on Friday with the potential for increased activity, as an area of high pressure will move over the fire with possible record higher temperatures and drier air moving into the area. With the long-term forecast, it is expected that the fire will continue to burn
Fire Restrictions:
Fire restrictions are in place for the Sierra National Forest. Campfires are only allowed in designated developed recreation sites.
No campfires are allowed within the Sequoia National Forest and Giant Sequoia National Monument.
Visitors may experience smoke impacts in many popular recreational areas including Wishon Reservoir, Hume Lake and Cedar Grove area. For air quality updates visit www.valleyair.org/ ...recast.htm for more information.

Yo bajo desde Tahoe hasta Tioga Pass el domingo. Desde California me comentan q "sólo son 130 acres y que no debería haber problema". Espero que sea así porque Tioga Pass es uno de los puntos fuertes de Yosemite para mí. Salimos esta noche para San Francisco. ¡Ya no queda nada para este viaje soñado!
