Depends on where in Yosemite you are starting from, but I would take US-395 even it were longer than I-5. I-5 is really boring. But Tioga Pass is usually closed by October. Quickest way then would be 99 to 58 and then over to 15. |

But Tioga Pass is usually closed by October. Definately check road conditions before you travel in the mountains, but as far as I know, Tioga Pass has been open through the end of October every year in this century. See: http://www.dot.ca.gov/hq/roadinfo/clsdates.htm Sometimes it is still open in December. |

See: http://www.dot.ca.gov/hq/roadinfo/clsdates.htm Yeah, it would be very unusual for it to be closed in early October. However, the first Thursday or Friday of October some years ago, a friend and I had to take a different route to get to Mammoth because Tioga Pass was closed when we had to make our decision. It opened later in the afternoon, but we didn't want to take the chance and risk getting turned back when we were already partway across Yosemite. So as Ken says, keep a close eye on the weather reports. But chances are, you'll be fine. Patty |

Sometimes the road is temporarily (like a few hours or overnight) closed due to an early season snow storm. In October, the snow usually melts pretty quickly. Er, yeah, I think that's what I was saying. :-) Hence my comment about the road reopening in the afternoon. But we couldn't be sure it would reopen before we got there, so we did the safe thing and took an alternate route. Patty |
