Yosemite National Park (Tioga Road)

The next stop along our journey was the famous Yosemite National Park. We chose to enter from the east, driving over the 9945 ft (3031 m) high Tioga Pass.

Next we stopped at Tuolumne Meadows, where we refueled and observed the local wildlife.

Several scenic lakes lie along Tioga Road, including the scenic Tenaya Lake.

Further on, Olmsted Point offers a magnificent view of the northern side of Half Dome.

Tioga Road is only open during the summer, and I highly recommend visiting then to experience this wonderful drive.
