Tioga Road and Glacier Point Plowing Update 4/24/08

It's that time of year again when us photographers living west of the Sierra Nevada eagerly await the plowing of the passes that allow us easy access to the beautiful Eastern Sierra and the high country. On the Glacier Point Road, initial plowing to Glacier Point is complete, but additional plowing (widening), road work, and hazard tree work must be completed before the road can be safely opened to the public.

Work continues on the Tioga Road:
