YOSEMITE, CA (KMJ) – Highway 41 from Wawona Road heading into Yosemite is temporarily closed because of hazardous driving conditions. Highway 120 East heading into the National Park is also temporarily shut down.
According to Yosemite National Park social media, heavy snow combined with saturated soils are causing trees to fall. So if you’re in the national park, officials are warning to stay indoors and off the roads.
