Welcome to Yosemite National Park! The Tioga Pass entrance is a fee station located on Tioga Road, the continuation of Highway 120 from the east. Situated at 9,945 feet (3,031 m) above sea level, Tioga Pass is located along the crest of the Sierra Nevada mountains.

Visitors can pay the park entrance fee, show their parks pass, or purchase a pass as they enter the park. Park brochures may be available. Entrance stations at Yosemite do not accept cash. Learn more about entrance fees and passes. 

Seasonal Information

Tioga Road is closed seasonally from approximately November through May or June. Check road status or call 209/372-0200 (press 1, then 1) for current road conditions.

When Tioga Road is closed, it is not possible to drive to Tuolumne Meadows or enter Yosemite National Park from the east. All other park entrances, including those accessed via Highway 120 from the west, Hetch Hetchy, Highway 140, and Highway 41, remain open all year.

From spring through fall, you are likely to experience congestion in Yosemite Valley and at park entrances. Be prepared for delays, especially in afternoons and on weekends. Plan accordingly and use restrooms when available. It is best to arrive early in the morning or in the late afternoon to find parking and avoid traffic delays.
