Be sure to stop at Tenaya Lake along this beautiful drive. Also drive a bit further east out of the park for more nice scenery. More

One of the best national park roads! The scenery along the Tioga Pass is amazing. I drove it from west to east down to Mammoth lakes, and it was so beautiful to see the high mountain scenery of the Sierras. More

But so worth it when you get to Lake Tenaya. The weather was sunny and warm in December of all times, it hadn't snowed and so the Pass was open and you could drive to the other side of the Park if you so chose. More
