Recent News from Yosemite
|
The park reopened on February 1 after having been closed for almost two weeks due to a series of winter storms that downed trees and impacted roads, trails and other facilities. According to winter rangers, 84 inches of snow has fallen in Tuolumne Meadows in recent weeks. If you're planning a Yosemite visit soon, note that the National Park Service is once again requiring day-use reservations for entry, until local public health conditions improve. And if you want to check out Yosemite's winter magic from home, the views from our webcams have been especially beautiful lately!

With support from Yosemite Conservancy donors, researchers are working on a three-year mountain lion research project (2019-2021) that uses non-invasive methods — remote cameras, scat surveys and genetic analysis — to gather information on the park’s cougar population. As the team dives into their final year of research, scroll through our interactive Mountain Lion StoryMap to learn more about this work and why it matters, and see some of the photos, videos and other data collected so far.
