Wonderful scenic drive, one I have never done, though I did drive over eleven thousand feet twice during my two visits to Great Basin national park in eastern NV, which also had beautiful aspen trees, golden since fall was approaching.
I gave myself several days to get used to the altitude so I could hike in the park thru the aspens to about 12000 feet, I noticed how little oxygen was in the air at that height, which probably added to the euphoric feeling I had visiting the park.
It was the highest I have ever driven though my Camry handled it, even though it only had 4 cylinders, quite well.
I enjoy these videos remembering places I have been to, that beckoned me to drive to them.

I made two attempts to drive this road. The first time in november. As I drove from June lake to the base of the pass. The sign said "open", so I went to a nearby gas station to get a sandwich, and as I returned I saw the sign switch to "closed". Had to change my route and drove on to Lake Tahoe.
The second time, a few years later I had planned to do the pass in the last week of june. unfortunately there was still several meters of snow on the pass and the road had not been cleared yet. Which made for an interesting detour to get to my next stay at Buck Meadows.
Thanks for the video (though I would have preferred the driving parts uncut)

Just two months earlier, (early July-2023) snow nearly 1 meter high lined each side of Tioga Road and the adjacent landscape. The road opened far later than it usually does. Public traffic wasn’t allowed through until July 22nd. During the past several years, construction work and other implementations here in the high country section of Yosemite was simply wonderful to visit. No doubt others who came through here would agree.

Im glad I found this video We drove from Carson City NV down to rt 120 to go to Yosemite Sept 12. We are from PA and rented a car in Reno to see where the Donner Party camped and to see Yosemite. Never thought it would look like it does. I drove back up Big Oak Flat road from Yosemiti Park and I hated it Scared of heights, we dont have roads like this here in central PA. Great video, thanks!

Everyone knows about Tioga, Sonora and Donner Pass. But most people have not heard of Sherman Pass. I would recommend driving over Sherman Pass one of these days. Look it up on a map. It takes you through Kennedy Meadows (on the eastern slope, crosses over the Kern River and takes you through Sequoia National Park on the western slope.

Since you seem to be monetizing your videos, you need to know that some of your videos appear to be illegal. There is a federal law that forbids the commercialization of videos that are filmed on federal lands, including especially national parks. You could be subject to substantial penalties.

So. Much. Up. (Drove it twice in one day once. Beautiful, but I don't think I was really speaking in complete sentences at the end of it)

Been here several times! After some snow I think this area compares to Switzerland! Tenaya Lake is really beautiful and clear.
