Hiking

The crossing with Tioga road is a crucial stopover for long distance and through-hikers on the PCT, and often used as a starting point for shorter loops into the Yosemite high granite plateau. Tioga Road typically opens between Mid June and Mid July until about November, depending when it is cleared of snow. Snow might still cover the trails for another month or two, depending on location.
