Tioga Pass
the 9,945-ft east entrance to the park
Stylized illustration, not a photo — the real place looks different (and that’s half the fun).
Tioga Pass is one of the places Roamward flags on the Tioga Road because it gives the drive its texture: the 9,945-ft east entrance to the park. Use it as a planned pull-over instead of letting the route become a blur between towns.
How it fits the drive
The Tioga Road runs Crane Flat → Tioga Pass, CA (CA-120). Yosemite’s high country, dome to meadow.
Nearby route stops
