Coming back from a wedding in the Bay Area, I decided to take the long road home to Oregon and go over Tioga Pass. This is by far one of the most beautiful and exhilarating rides I have ever done on a motorcycle. I absolutely adore the High Sierra.
I took a GoPro video of the entire run over the pass. It took me a while to edit it together but here it is.
A big juniper tree by the road.
Exposed granite.
Heading up toward the pass.
I was one of the few non-Harley and non-adventure bikes going over the pass.
Granite domes.
Looking up into the high country.
Tuolumne Meadows looking more or less north.
Snow in the high country.
At the summit of Tioga Pass.
Dark rock from the east.
Just down the east side from the pass there is a small reservoir.
Heading down toward Mono Lake.
Tioga Pass is a California Historic Civil Engineering Landmark.
Looking down the road.
It is a really, REALLY impressive road.
I can’t wait to ride that road again!
