Tioga Pass

Tioga Pass
The Tioga Pass is up Hwy 120 from Mono Lake into the Sierra Nevada towards Yosemite National Park. We came upon breathtaking mountains, waterfalls, lakes, lush meadows, and snow covered peak.It is a completely different kind of beauty from the Mono Lake basin. The weather was perfect, it the mid 70s. It got a little cool in some places where the wind was blowing other wise was just great. Zulita loves trees and mountains so she was in heaven here.

Gordon resting at one of our stops enjoying his drink. Good stop, they was a restaurant and a general store here.

The following are pictures of lakes look may look like they are the same lake, but they are different lakes we came to.

See the mountains and the lake below! somehow it was chilly here so I wore my sweater for a while.

Gordon reading and learning about this area,...and making sure were we are so we don't get lost.

We came to an area were there was some snow and a lot of rocks.

Gordon choosing some rocks for Zulita's classroom's Rock Collection.

We decided on this two rocks and a pine cone.

We came to this beautiful meadow with running streams every where.

Gordon likes meadows:-) So we spend some time here.
We had the meadow all to ourselves:-)!!!!!

The pictures does not show clearly, but those white streams at the far distance behind Gordon are waterfalls.

This waterfall was our favorite because we were able to get close to it, so close that we can feel the little drops mist of the water on us. We rested and tool a nap here.

Zulita just after she woke up from her nap.

Beautiful!
