Fire and SmokePrescribed fires and pile burning are planned for this spring, which may cause smoky conditions at times, mainly in Yosemite Valley, Wawona, and Crane Flat areas. Yosemite's air quality may be affected by fires elsewhere in the region or by prescribed fire in Yosemite; hazy or smoky conditions are always possible.

Trails and Wilderness ConditionsTrails in Yosemite may be closed when there are hidden hazards or when they are impassable due to rock fall, snow, ice, or fire. Open trails aren't necessarily free of hazards--by entering the wilderness, you assume responsibility for your safety and must use good judgment. Trails not listed below are open, but may be snowy and very difficult to find from about November through May/June (and may have other hazards). While several miles of paved pedestrian paths in Yosemite Valley are plowed, all hiking trails are covered in snow. Wear waterproof boots and traction devices as even plowed paths can be icy. Hiking on snow-covered trails is not recommended. Stay away from all rivers and creeks, which are running high and with snowbanks that may collapse. Yosemite Valley Area

Climbing ClosuresClimbing closures are in effect on several routes each year from March 1 through July 15 to protect peregrine falcons.
