Yosemite National Park will not open its five High Sierra Camps this summer due to heavy snowpack that's still up to 15 feet deep in some spots.
This is only the second time since 1916 that the backcountry camps have not opened for the season, according to Kerri Holden, a spokeswoman for Delaware North Companies Parks & Resorts at Yosemite, which operates the camps. The decision affects 4,300 campers who had reservations and represents $1.5 million in lost revenue, Holden says.
