The northwest entrance to
Yosemite National Park (via State Highway 120) is just one hour from
Sonora,
California. Leaving Sonora you will climb from an elevation of
1,800 feet to over 8,000 feet and then descend into Yosemite Valley at
an elevation of approximately 4,000 feet.
In the winter season when the snow starts to fly around the first of
October, State Highway 120 and all of
the roads leading into
Yosemite
National Park may be closed due to inclement weather and snowy road
conditions. The danger of avalanche makes driving over Tioga Pass
impossible.
The
Tioga Pass Road
(State Highway 120) traverses
Yosemite
National Park and connects to U.S. Highway 395 on the eastern side of
California. Typically, this road is closed for the winter months
beginning with the first snows of the season in early October and
remains closed until the end of May or the first part of June.
