Little bear, big tree...
We can bearly contain our excitement that the Mariposa Grove of Giant Sequoias reopened today! The Mariposa Grove shuttle has resumed operation. Air quality is good to moderate with blue skies.
The following trails remain closed:
🌲 The Washburn Trail (between the Mariposa Grove Welcome Plaza and the Arrival Area).
🌲 The western portion of the Perimeter Trail (from the Galen Clark Tree to near the Grizzly Giant Loop Trail).
🌲 The trail from the Mariposa Grove toward Wawona
Please stay on trails: hazards may exist off trail. Firefighters will continue patrolling the area until the fire is declared out.
Learn more about visiting the Mariposa Grove at https://www.nps.gov/yose/planyourvisit/mg.htm. A reservation is required to drive into or through Yosemite: https://go.nps.gov/reserve.
And, finally, remember to stay 50 yards away from bears! If a bear approaches you, scare it away immediately by yelling as loudly and aggressively as possible.
