Yosemite: Tioga Road and the Valley

On the day after Memorial Day, (May 27, 2008) Shirley and I took a drive through Yosemite National Park. The weather was unsettled, and we had periods of rain, hail, snow, and sleet. But the Tioga Road remained open and we traveled through Tioga Pass (at 9943' the highest pass crossed by public road in California) and down the impressive slope of the Eastern Sierra. After lunch in Lee Vining on rte 395, we headed back through the park and stopped in Yosemite Valley to view the falls.

We had views of Tuolumne Meadows, Dana Meadows, Cathedral Peak, Emery Lake, the Coxcomb, Unicorn Peak, El Capitan, Cathedral Rock, Yosemite Valley, and Yosemite Falls.

The link below will take you to a three-page image gallery describing the trip.
