Check out the webcam at the pass - they are already plowing - Nita, what are you willing to bet since you put the "real bet" challange on the table? The pass was not cleared this early last year so I agree, it could be closer to end of May than June.
OOOPs - did nothave time to get through all 64 posts so it looks like someone already has the webcam info posted - cannot wait to get up there!

I have just been advised that the lower gate will be opened this afternoon (5/1/08) so the road will be available to the Park entrance.

They were last reported to be at Pywiack Dome and they may be in TM by now. There is still lots of work for them to do so who knows, maybe 2 weeks?

Arrived back at TPR last night, after driving through an open gate! Yeah to be back.
Shooting for Memorial weekend opening.
We are in need of an experienced line cook. If you can make perfect over medium eggs, stop on by.
There is still some good skiing to be had.

TPR needs help with the web site. Come talk to us!

Saddlebag will not open until after Memorial Day. Keep in mind it sits at 10,000 feet and usually accumulates a LOT of snow around the building. Don't hold your breath on that one for at least another month, if not 45 days.

Ah, yes, the Saddlebag area... what a stunning little treasure.
Here is Conness Creek on the walk out after a fine day on North Peak a few Augusts back:
It doesn't get much better than this.

Thanks to all for the pics of the past few days. Tioga Pass and SaddleBag are indeed special. This hiker/scrambler from Indiana gleans the webcams several times daily for glimpses of these areas and the first-hand accounts are great! I usually make a couple of trips per summer out to the Yosemite back country and am continually adding red line and peaks to my topo map.
I agree the Conness Lakes area below North Peak is quite a place. If you work your way on north there is a little shute that takes you down to Upper McCabe then up to Roosevelt L. and on out via Conness or on to T.M.
Keep the news coming there are people 2,000 mile away waiting to hear it!

An of you folks who work in Tuolumne have to report for duty this weekend? Set up tents, cover the store, clean off the grille? Drive up on the freshly plowed road? E
