YCC Equipment List

Employment Packets were mailed out over the weekend. When you receive them, please take to time to review and forms and note important dates and times as well.  

Tioga Pass and HWY 120 are now open.  Snow is melting quickly and the waterfalls are surging.  Don't be fooled though by these warmer temperatures, you will still want to bring plenty of warm clothes and bedding for your summer nights in Tuolumne Meadows and when hiking through the high country passes.   Temperatures will fall below freezing several nights.
