Rim Fire
For the most up-to-date fire information, visit InciWeb.
Most of Yosemite National Park is not affected by the fire
and is relatively smoke-free. The northern part of the park, including
part of Tioga Road, has some smoke. Conditions may change if winds
shift. However:
- The Big Oak Flat Road (the continuation of Highway 120 inside Yosemite) and Highway 120 west of Yosemite
are closed between the Highway 49 south junction (outside the park) to
Crane Flat Campground (inside the park). If you are trying to get to
Yosemite from the west, use Highway 140 from Merced. You may also enter
Yosemite via Highway 41 from the south and 120 from the east (Tioga
Pass).
- Hetch Hetchy Road and Evergreen Road are closed.
- Hodgdon Meadow Campground and Hetch Hetchy Backpackers' Campground are closed. (All other campgrounds in Yosemite are open.)
- Merced and Tuolumne Groves of Giant Sequoias are closed.
- Wilderness trail closures: The area west of the
Harden Lake/Pate Valley trail, north from Pate Valley to the junction
with the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) and continuing north along the PCT to
Bond Pass is closed. The park’s boundary serves as the closure’s
northern and western edge south to the Merced Grove. The closure
continues east along (but not including) the Tioga Road (Hwy 120 through
the park) to the White Wolf Road. The Tioga Road and the trails serving
as the eastern boundary of the closed area (including the PCT) remain
open. View a map showing the closure [1.3 MB PDF].
- All other roads and areas are open. Yosemite Valley, Glacier Point, Wawona, Mariposa Grove, Crane Flat, White Wolf, and Tuolumne Meadows areas are all open.
