Trails and Wilderness Conditions

Trails in Yosemite may be closed when there are hidden hazards or when they are impassable due to rock fall, snow, ice, or fire. Open trails aren't necessarily free of hazards--by entering the wilderness, you assume responsibility for your safety and must use good judgment. Trails not listed below are open, but may be snowy and very difficult to find from about November through May/June (and may have other hazards).

Yosemite Valley Area

The Four Mile Trail is closed due to hazardous conditions from the gate just below Union Point to Glacier Point (no access to Glacier Point via this trail). The lower portion of the trail is open.
The boulders around the base of Lower Yosemite Fall (the off-trail area between the footbridge/viewing area and the waterfall) is closed.
The trail to Bridalveil Fall is closed due to the Bridalveil Fall Rehabilitation Project.
The Half Dome cables are down for the season. They normally go up the Friday before Memorial Day weeked in late May, conditions permitting. A permit is required to hike to the top of Half Dome when the cables are up.
Due to bear activity along the Snow Creek Trail and the potential for bear/human interactions the area to the south and east of the footbridge is closed to overnight camping and unattended food (even if stored properly). The National Park Service will continue to monitor the bears' activity and will re-open the area to camping as soon as possible. The trails and areas are open to day hiking.
Crane Flat Area

The Merced Grove will close intermittently while crews reduce fire danger by removing hazardous burnable material within the grove. Closures may take place into early spring.
The road to the Crane Flat helibase is closed.
Tuolumne Meadows and White Wolf Area
