	Tioga Pass - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Tioga Pass (elevation 9,943 ft, 3030.6 m) is a pass in the Sierra Nevada mountains of California.
		Mount Dana is to the east of the pass.
		Dana Meadows is immediately east of the pass alongside the highway, as the pass itself is roughly angled north/south as opposed to east/west.

		At 9941 feet, Tioga Pass is the highest automobile pass in California.
		From Mono Lake, a remnant of the inland sea which captured the runoff of the ancient glaciers, to Tioga, Ellery, Tenaya, Siesta and countless other tarn and kettle lakes between, the blue sparkling waters ripple with mountain breezes and wash away one’s cares.
		The several small lakes near the Tioga Pass entrance are good examples of kettle lakes.

		Headed out to see Tioga Pass for the first time this year in a little while and then will come back on Sonora Pass on my 2nd visit this year.
		P.S. Of course, Ebbetts Pass was as awesome as ever too, just a lot less snow on that pass than just a few weeks ago when it opened.
		I came back east on Sonora Pass today and a good majority of the snow is gone there compared to a little over 3 weeks ago.

	Tioga Pass (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		I was thrilled to conquer my first pass of the journey, 9,945' Tioga Pass.
		I hadn't done any elevation training before my trip and I did not how the altitude would affect me. I also didn't know if my knees were ready for all the climbing (especially since my bike weighed about 110 lbs with all my gear!).
		By the way, the gentleman to the left in the photo asked me to join his motorcycle gang but it didn't work out because I was unfortunately heading in the opposite direction.

		The trail heads off in the general direction of the pass, crossing a couple of moraines near the beginning and then ascending gradually and steadily.
		Unlike Mono Pass (from which you can look down to Mono Lake) there is no view of Owens Valley from this pass, but the view of snow-covered peaks made up for that.
		On a previous walk to Mono Pass I had climbed a ridge from which I thought I could see Parker Pass, and this low ridge seemed to be that very same ridge.

	Hike over Tioga Pass (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		After passing a few smaller patches of snow, it looked like we were up above snow line for good, so here Nate changed into his telemark gear.
		After passing Tioga Pass Resort, and with about 2 miles to go to the pass, Nate decides he's tired of slipping backwards with every step and puts the climbing skins on his telemark skis.
		After the pass, we hiked 8 miles downhill toward the Meadows -- these 8 miles seemed longer than they should have because we were expecting to be able to ski/snowboard, but the snow was too soft and the grade of the road too gentle and only rarely could gravity pull us downhill.

		A note about TIOGA PASS and a late start to the 2005 season: In January, 2005, Amtrak announced changes in their charges for moving private rail cars such as TIOGA PASS.
		This proposal would have made it very difficult and expensive to operate trips such as TIOGA PASS is known for.

		I captured this image while skiing back to Tioga Pass from Yosemite.

		By the time I was at this point of the picture, I was back on my skis, only a short distance form the pay booth at the top of the pass, and cheerful enough, to once again, take in the scenery.

		I've wanted to see it since I first visited Yosemite, and saw all those signs pointing out how closed it is in the winter.
