Because of skimpy snowpack and balmy temperatures, Yosemite National Park's Tioga Road (above) — gateway to the Eastern Sierra high country and 9,995-foot-high Tioga Pass — had its earliest reopening in 20 years on May 11. Glacier Point Road, which accesses the popular Half Dome vista spot, and some visitor services, such as the Curry Village bicycle stand and the rafting station for the Merced River, are also open just in time for Memorial Day.
