Tioga Pass Road has opened to administrative traffic as of a couple of days ago (Friday, April 27, 2007). That basically means that they still might have a few things to do here and there, but they are planning to open next Friday, May 4, 2007. Glacier Point Road is set to open at the same time. These are tenative dates that, as always, depend on weather and staffing, but it basically looks good. The official word from NPS is that there is no set opening date yet, but they are telling the truck drivers and such to gear up to be ready to go for May 4.

Meanwhile, Sonora Pass opened on Friday, April 27. The pass will close for a one-day construction project on Tuesday, May 1st, re-opening on Wednesday, May 2nd.

Glacier Point road opened this afternoon, delayed by one day because of yesterday's snow. I'm not sure how much snow they got at Tioga Pass or when it will open, but the forecast for next week is warm and sunny, so I think it should be any day now!
