Yosemite National Park,
CA – May 2012 / Hospitality 1ST / Delaware
North Companies (DNC) Parks & Resorts at Yosemite, authorized concessioner
for Yosemite National Park, announced Tuesday (May 15) that Tuolumne Meadows
Lodge, General Store, and Grill will open for the season on Friday, May
25, 2012. The Tuolumne Meadows Sport Shop and the Tuolumne-based Yosemite
Mountaineering School and Guide Service are scheduled to open Friday, June
1, 2012. White Wolf Lodge will open for the season on Friday, June 8, 2012
conditions permitting. The mild winter and early opening of the Tioga Road
has allowed the earlier than expected openings of popular Tuolumne Meadows
accommodations and services including Tuolumne Meadows Lodge and Grill.
“The National Park Service
and Delaware North Companies worked closely to achieve an early opening
date for High Sierra accommodations and services,” said DNC Parks &
Resorts at Yosemite President Dan
Jensen. “We are thankful for the effort from the National Park Service
and are thrilled to offer access to services in Tuolumne Meadows so early
this year. These early openings provide additional opportunities for people
to enjoy Memorial Day Weekend in Yosemite and the beauty of the High Sierra.”
