Yosemite Road crews are hard at work cleaning up this rockslide near Ohlmsted Point on the Tioga Road (Hwy. 120). If this is the rock I’m thinking it is, my wife and I have been wondering for a while now when it’s going to come down.
The Tioga Road, from Crane Flat to Mono Lake, is one of my more favorite parts of Yosemite. The change in environment from start to finish is marvelous. You start in pine-conifer forest at Crane Flat, cross through the transition zone to alpine and tundra, then end at high desert on the other side of the pass. Quite remarkable. It’s the equivalent of traveling several thousand miles north and back all in the distance of 60 miles.
