Mono County Tourism – Tioga Pass and Mammoth Basin are Open
Tioga Pass and Mammoth Lakes Basin are OPEN!
Please don’t forget that a peak hours reservation is required to drive into or through Yosemite National Park between 6:00am and 4:00pm, now through September 30th. For more information on reservations, please visit go.nps.gov/reserve.
No reservation but still want to visit Yosemite? Relax and enjoy the view (not the driving and parking) with a scenic bus ride from Mono County to several Yosemite stops with the Yosemite Area Regional Transportation System (YARTS).
Bus tickets include the entrance reservation and the park entrance fee. Buses depart daily from Mammoth Lakes, June Lake and Lee Vining from June 15th to October 15th, and twice daily from July 1st to August 31st. Click here to purchase YARTS bus tickets for the Highway 120/395 route.
Lake Mary Road to the Mammoth Lakes Basin also reopened today. While the roads and trails are open, Forest Service employees will still be working in the area. The water system was damaged this winter and is being repaired, so in the meantime, registered campers must retrieve water from alternative sites within Forest Service campgrounds (with the exception of Twin Lakes). Day users should supply their own water. Portable restrooms and vault toilets will remain available at campgrounds and trailheads.
