The NPS has announced that Yosemite Valley, Wawona and the Mariposa Grove will all be closed as of July 25 through at least July 29. The Glacier Point Road is already closed so the campgrounds there can be used as fire camps. For those passing through, the Tioga Road, Tuolumne Meadows, the Tioga Pass entrance and Hetch Hechy remain open for now.

The Ferguson Fire is moving quite close to the western boundary of the Park and is still not contained. Many of the roads in and around the Park are being used by emergency vehicles and many local residents are under mandatory evacuation orders.

Smoke is heavy in the area and even down into the Central Valley. I have curtailed my morning jogs because it is uncomfortable to breathe heavily. Probably a good time to stay away, folks.
