This is where the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail crosses the Tioga Road. Most of the thruhikers walk to Tuolumne Meadows Store & Grill to get a resupply, eat well and often pickup a resupply package. There is also a campground close by.

NOTE: Tuolumne Meadows Campground will be closed until 2024 or 2025 due to reconstruction. The backpackers campground will also be closed. This might very well affect the store and nearby post office that will likely be closed, too. To resupply, you can take the bus into Lee Vining or Yosemite Valley from mid June through mid September.

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.
