Major Yosemite entrance has reopened, but an online reservation needed By Carmen George The Fresno Bee/TNS A major Yosemite National Park entrance that's been closed for a few weeks reopened Thursday, but visitors still need an online reservation to get into the popular park at least through February. The park's south entrance via Highway 41 was closed for more than three weeks due to major wind damage. Glacier Point Road to Badger Pass Ski Area reopened earlier this week. The ski resort is not operating, but there are cross-country ski paths there for those with their own gear. The Mariposa Grove of Giant Sequoias remains closed until further notice. At least 15 giant sequoias were reported to have fallen in the grove during the large Mono wind event last month.
