She wouldn't have been Shanghai-ed by the crazy-long drive due to road closures. I'll send her to your blog so she can be more aware next time she plans a trip up there... and I'll keep checking it out too! -Alyson, thisnext.com/blog If only my pal who drove to Yosemite last weekend had read about the road closures!

Would that be a good time to go? Any recommendations on a trail. Thanks. I was thinking of going up Tuolumne Meadows the week (maybe Wed) after Memorial day. Would that be a good time to go?

We have reservations at the Cedar Lodge, which is on that highway about 9 miles from the park. We'll be driving up from Fresno via the South Entrance. Are we going to be able to get to Cedar Lodge exiting the Western Entrance on Highway 140? Man I sure hope so... You mentioned that Highway 140 is still closed in to the Park.

Last year I hiked to the top of Yosemite Falls on the Friday of the holiday weekend and couldn't tell it was a holiday weekend. We arrived early, approx. 7:30am at the Southern Hwy 41 entrance. There was maybe 1 car in front of us. You will notice people if you need to grab a bite to eat in Yosemite Village. I would recommend you bring your own food and arrive by 8am at the gates and try and visit on Friday. I have video footage of 1 car at the Tunnel View last year at 8:30am on the Friday of Memorial Day weekend. It turned out to be a great day. Tim,
