Shuttle buses also provide free transport to Badger Pass Ski Area from the valley in winter. In summer, there's free shuttle service from Wawona to the Mariposa Grove, and from the Tioga Pass to Tenaya Lake in the Tuolomne Meadows area during daylight hours. Hikers' buses run daily to Glacier Point from late spring through October and to Tuolomne Meadows from late June through Labor Day. June, July, and August draw the most visitors, while December through February draw the fewest. While Yosemite Valley is open year-round and Badger Pass is open for skiing, many areas of the park are closed in winter.
All roads are subject to seasonal closings depending on snow conditions.
