Highly recommended ascent...!!!! It is not very steep but it is constant... It is worth it for the views... although it is very windy.

Epic! Tioga Pass is the climb to enter Yosemite National Park from the east side. This climb offers spectacular views of Yosemite. The climb is not that steep and fairly constant but the middle section is not to be underestimated. Don't start too fast is the message due to the thin air. Stopping at the summit, I only really noticed what altitude does to your body, unfortunately I didn't have much time to enjoy afterward. It got dark quickly and finding a place to sleep in this super tourist park is not obvious.
