The Tioga Road Corridor

The Tioga Road is a cross-mountain scenic road that passes through most of the environments in Yosemite. The corridor serves as a summertime trans-Sierra route and provides access points to the surrounding backcountry. A wide variety of opportunities are available along the corridor, which range from scenic driving to wilderness threshold experiences. In the winter, opportunities for cross-country skiing and snowshoeing are available.
