Yosemite, CA…As announced yesterday, much of Yosemite Valley will close starting Friday, April 28, at 10 pm, due to a forecast of flooding. Western Yosemite Valley will remain open but could close if traffic congestion or parking issues become unmanageable. If visiting, expect: -Heavy congestion, traffic delays, and extremely limited parking -Strict enforcement of parking regulations -Potential for additional road closures and detours based on water levels and traffic -Very limited opportunities for hiking and other recreation

It’s possible emergency response could be delayed. As a result, please #RecreateResponsibly and avoid unnecessary risk. Rivers in Yosemite will be flowing very high and will be extremely dangerous. Do not enter or approach them.
