I left Yosemite Valley and drove over the Sierra crest on Tioga Road (Hwy 120) to Lee Vining on Hwy 395. Tioga Road is the highest paved through road in CA and passes through the northern section of Yosemite National Park. The summit elevation of Tioga Pass is 9,945'.Snow was encountered above 8,000'.
