An eastern sugar maple that was planted by Yosemite settlers near the Yosemite Chapel has begun turning red. The tree is known for its vibrant crimson and makes for a spectacular photograph of the nearby chapel with Half Dome overhead. This weekend should be a prime one to see the beginning of fall color in Yosemite. For Yosemite Resorts reservations, CLICK HERE.

Two new bridges, allowing 45-foot long vehicles to reach Yosemite National Park by California highway 140, will open today at 2 p.m.The bridges were installed by the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), to allow larger vehicles, such as motor coaches and RVs, to travel to Yosemite Valley over highway 140. Access to Yosemite Valley had been limited to 28-foot vehicles or smaller, since the Ferguson rock slide that had closed the road temporarily in 2006. Soon thereafter, Caltrans bypassed the closed section of CA-140 with two, one-lane bridges, but the temporary bridges only allowed vehicles up to 28 feet to pass the rock slide.
The new bridges allow larger vehicles to use CA-140, known as the All Year Highway since its completion in 1927. This highway has long been the preferred route of drivers of large vehicles because it is the least curvy and mountainous route into Yosemite Valley, as well as being the shortest distance to Yosemite Valley from CA-99 in the Central Valley.
