The weather looks fantastic in Yosemite right now, with clear blue sky's and temperatures in the valley in the 80's, possibly rising to 90F by Tuesday. Even up on the Tioga pass the temps are hitting...

Buck.
Don't forget to 'Ping the poll' above in the date range that covers your prediction.

I saw the weather forecast earlier, and now there are warnings in place and the Tioga pass is temporarily closed. Unfortunately the High Sierra webcam isn't active at the moment and has been showing...

How would you like to win a free tank of gas for your Road Trip ride!?
This is our 38th attempt at predicting future road conditions on one of our favourite mountain crossings in the American West,...

I think that most of the controversy around McLaren was after the Hungarian GP. To give themselves the best chance of getting a 1-2 result they pitted Norris first to keep Hamilton at bay. That...

I just had a quick look and a one day ticket for qualifying on the Saturday start at almost $500 and end up with Paddock club tickets that go north of $12,500!! Just to experience the sounds and...

It looks as though there are a few more "affordable" tickets available this year (If you can call them that!!) and generally the prices appear to be slightly cheaper than last year,(?) it's still...

I agree with what Buck has said above, but if you proceed with a personal planner/Travel agent, it is wise to use a cautious approach and check things for yourself, using the knowledge available here...

At 1800 miles, you will be pushed to make the journey in 3 long days by the most direct route, so to take a scenic route or detour to one of the NP's you will need all of 5 days to make it happen and...

Hello and welcome to the RTA forums!!

When will your trip take place ? As it's in Fall and Winter road trips you have to take into consideration the status of the Tioga pass into Yosemite valley...

Oh boy, that's a tough one to take. Hopefully taking a little time out, and giving each other a bit of space, will improve the situation. I hope you can all get something positive from the trip...

Howdy there!

Thanks for the update. Good to hear you're getting along OK.

I think you will be even more amazed heading through Colorado with it's amazing scenery, just watch out for those Stop...

They are also commonly referred to as "Speed Humps" (or Bumps) here in the UK. They're commonly used to try and reduce speed in built up residential areas and rural villages, that would be considered...

You're probably already aware Mark, but this route used to known as Mt Evans scenic route and is the highest paved route in the USA.

Dave

The map displays and gives a good idea of your plan, but it is 'clunky'. Not long to go now, and a lot to look forward too! Have fun!

Dave (Pleased for you but slightly jealous!) ;-)

I'm not sure if it's been mentioned previously, but just outside the East entrance of the Grand canyon (Desert view drive) on US89 between GC and MV is the Cameron Trading post. If you have a little...

Yosemite NP have still not updated their 'Opening and closing' page which is our 'go to' for Official confirmation. However, there is nothing to suggest it didn't open as scheduled, so I think it's...

I wouldn't worry to much. As scenic as Big Sur is, you will still have the chance to drive South of San Simeon, through seaside towns like Pismo beach and Santa Barbara. Perhaps visit one of the...

Oh yes, the anticipation and excitement stage! The time seems to fly by, and departure day will be upon you! If you have any last minute questions, just ask. I for one look forward to hearing all...

Hi.

Google maps is a good tool for distances, but really needs to be worked to avoid it just taking you by the quickest route. It is also inaccurate when it comes to travel times, in the real...

You don't say where you are flying into SLC from, so you need to consider how long you would have been up for that day to travel to the airport, in time for check in etc etc. With minimum delays, it...

I have no ideas to share, but thanks for sharing! It sounds like you had quite an adventure in this interesting part of the world.

Dave

Tioga pass is shown as open on Yosemite's Road status page, so it looks as though it went to plan.

We shall wait for the official announcement as always and double check entries, but it's...

That is a massive landslide and will be a huge task to sort out! Quite some detour for the 2 towns by the look of things too.

The Yosemite NPS has announced the Tioga pass is scheduled to open on Monday 10th June at 7am. The weather looks settled right through next week, so there is no good reason this won't happen.

As...
