YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK — The Tioga Pass Road through the Sierra Nevada was closed for the winter on Friday because of snow, officials at Yosemite National Park said.
Spokeswoman Marla LaCass said the road, also known as California 120, was closed later than usual because the snows have come late to the mountains this year. The last time officials waited until December to close the road was in 1980, she said.
The road will remain closed until spring thaws make it passable again, she said.
