Caltrans will open SR-4/Ebbetts Pass & SR-108/Sonora Pass at 2:00 p.m. on Thursday, May 12, 2022.
For more information

I can't make the first day this year. Maybe someone else will and give us a report. No word on Tioga Pass yet.
 
Thanks Passman. Sorry you won’t be able to ride / open it.
 
The East Walker River is fishing well right now, according to Ken at the Sporting Goods store in Bridgeport.

Time to go.
 
I’m in Lee Vining after riding Sonora earlier. It was fun. :ride

Monitor & Ebbetts tomorrow.
 
Well this is good news as we have a mammoth trip planned for an overnighter with wife and a couple friends so the passes are MUCH more fun! :)
 
FYI, Google Maps currently shows 120 between Lee Vining and Benton (not Tioga Pass - this is the section *east* of 395) as closed, but it definitely isn’t.

Tioga is still closed.
 
rode 108 westbound and 4 eastbound yesterday. perfect conditions on both with the exception of slight gravel between MWTC and the sonora pass summit.
 
There was a LOT of grit today on the steep (downhill if you’re heading east) hairpin just east of Pacific Grade Summit on 4. I was westbound today, so no worries. Saw a few deer in the same spot.
 
Tioga open date 5-27-22

"Tioga Road (the continuation of Highway 120 through the park) is scheduled to open to vehicular traffic on Friday, May 27, 2022, at 9 am. A reservation is required to drive into *or through* Yosemite between 6 am and 4 pm through September 30; this includes travelers passing through the park on Tioga Road. Visit https://go.nps.gov/reserve for more information.
Road work has already begun in the Tenaya Lake and Tuolumne Meadows areas. Expect delays of up to 30 minutes during the day and one hour at night from Sunday nights through Friday afternoons.
Glacier Point Road is closed this year due to a major road rehabilitation project."

Ah well, guess I’ll cancel the just-in-case reservation I made for 5/22.
