This scenic drive through forests and past meadows, lakes, and granite domes is very exciting and sometimes very exposed and unsecured driveway in innumerable twists and turns. On the summit of the road there’s the Tioga Pass, at an elevation of 9,943 ft. (3,031 m.) above the sea level. It is the highest highway pass in California and in the Sierra Nevada. Mount Dana is to the east of the pass.
