Large parts of Yosemite National Park in California remained closed over the weekend as meltwater from a record snowpack surged through the swollen Merced River.
The river was expected to hit flood stage at Yosemite’s Pohono Bridge and reach a peak of 11 feet early Sunday, according to the National Weather Service.
Housekeeping Camp, Yosemite Valley Lodge, Curry Village, Upper Pines, Lower Pines, North Pines and The Allwahnee were shut down to the public earlier this week and will remain closed at least through Wednesday.
The Western Yosemite Valley, however, remains open.
