Yosemite National Park is set to reopen today after the 35-day partial government shutdown. The park saw partial staffing return over the weekend before the entire roughly 500-member workforce arrives today. Meanwhile, questions still remain regarding how long workers would stay on the job. President Donald Trump over the weekend threatened to shutdown the government again after three weeks if Congress continues to deny funding for a wall at the U.S.-Mexico border.
