THIS is a 277-mile journey that starts by exiting Yosemite via the 9,945ft (3,031m) Tioga Pass.

Shortly after this photo was taken we were approached by a park ranger, with whom we had been talking earlier, who warned that Tioga Pass would be closed in 15 minutes as a stormfront was coming in from Alaska.
There followed a mad dash in the minibus, the point being that if we were turned back it would mean an eight-hour detour.

| Ours was one of the last vehicles - possibly the last - allowed over the pass before the road was closed for an expected two days (traffic in the opposite direction had already been turned back) |
