  2. Sticky: Poll: I wish I was there.

    Thanks for the Photo's, (images ;-) ) really nice to see! That's a brave Lady! Tenaya Lake would be a tad too chilly for me, even in the summer.

    A visual of the Moki Dugway and Goosenecks.

    In my previous post I mentioned the Moki Dugway and Goosenecks SP, here are a few photo's from our trip to give you a better idea of what to expect.

    It's all 2 lane black top Highway until you...
  4. Sticky: Poll: Weather warning! (Not what you might think)

    A complete contrast in today's 'Hazardous weather warning' for Friday through the weekend in Yosemite Valley. (Temperatures likely to peak around 80F at high elevations along Tioga pass)

    A few thoughts.

    How much time do you have available for this trip? If you are heading to Zion, then Bryce and finally Capitol Reef I would suggest taking UT12 scenic highway and UT24 as suggested earlier. Unless...
  6. Sticky: Poll: Open!

    Tioga Pass has opened this morning as scheduled! We do not have a new Tppc (Tioga pass prognosticator Champion) but tseeb does indeed become the DcTpp once again(Darn close Tioga pass...
  7. Sticky: Poll: Scheduled to open on Monday.

    Tioga Pass is scheduled to open on Monday 26th May at 8am. I am on the road at the moment so I will have to check later to see if anyone has predicted this. Then we will wait for confirmation.

  8. Sticky: Poll: No updates from Yosemite.

    Thanks for sharing the photo's tseeb, you can't beat mountain snow and blue sky's!

    Yosemite NP has not updated on the Tioga pass clearing effort since May 5th which is a little frustrating....
  9. Many options, limited time.

    Hi and welcome back!

    This sounds like a great solo trip to enjoy, but you have many, many options before I could meaningfully give a particular route between Glacier and San Fran. The trip is...
  10. Sticky: Poll: Glacier Point road to open Saturday to vehicles.

    Thanks for the Intel Liam. It has been confirmed that the Tioga pass has been plowed along it's entire length and crews are now working on side roads, while the sign shop works on getting the signage...
  11. Sticky: Poll: Nature's helping hand.

    A lot will depend on the amount of debris from fallen trees and rocks on the road etc, but I haven't seen any reports of major delays from that, or the Avalanche zones. Nature also appears to be...
  12. Sticky: Poll: Great effort.

    They really are plowing on with it ! There is usually quite a clearing up operation to do after the plowing is done, felled trees, rocks and other debris to be removed, plus they need to get the...
  13. Sticky: Poll: No visible change.

    Looking at the Webcam image, the weekends snow doesn't appear to have had much impact.

  14. Sticky: Poll: Weather update.

    There is a Winter weather warning in place for Yosemite NP park and there could be more snow than I first thought.

  15. Sticky: Poll: The road crews are working on the Pass.

    The road crews have been Plowing the road since April 22nd and by the 24th they had covered 12 miles of road clearing, this puts them about 3 miles from White Wolf. It doesn't look as though this...
  16. Sticky: Poll: Spring is in the air!

    Settled weather, warm temperatures and blue skies would suggest Spring has arrived to Yosemite and is melting the snow away, fast!

    Sticky: A mountain of dirt.

    Yeah that's a lot of dirt moved. I wonder where they are dumping it, perhaps a new mountain will be named!
  18. Sticky: Poll: Below average snow survey results.

    Although there was a top up of snow since the final snow survey, the results are in from Yosemite NP.



    The temperatures are higher than average, causing the snowpack to melt away quicker....

    Much better looking.

    I think that's a much better plan to work with, well done. The one thing I would point out is that it looks as though you are still taking your timings straight from Google map estimates. It doesn't...

    A car could be the best solution.

    I do think that in this situation you are better off renting a car and use lodgings, but as Michael has said, that will still equate to 11-12 hours on the road if you plan to cover 600 miles per day....

    Not advised.

    Hello and welcome to the RTA forums!

    Doing 730 miles in a single day would be tough, but trying to do 600 miles a day for 5 days straight is a whole new ballgame. Add to that it will be slower...
  22. Sticky: Poll: A nice top up of the white stuff.

    It's been snowing quite heavy for a few hours now.

    The National Weather service has released an urgent Winter Weather message.



    The storm could persist through Wednesday and has the potential to add 3ft of new snow.

    I just took a look Mark,...

    Yes Mark, a little different up there to the 100F you experienced in Death valley yesterday!

  25. More helpful if it isn't costing them!

    That's tough luck Rick! Your Insurance company woes sound the exact same 'normal' as over here in the UK. With that in mind, you will probably find your own Insurance company much more helpful in...
