2015 Map of Tioga Pass

About this map

Tioga Pass serves as the gateway through the High Sierra, marking the high-altitude boundary between Yosemite National Park and the Inyo National Forest. This 2015 survey captures the intersection of pristine wilderness and critical alpine transit routes, including Tioga Road and the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail. The landscape is dominated by glacial features and massive granite formations, from the permanent Conness Glacier beneath Mt Conness to the distinctive profile of Lembert Dome near Tuolumne Meadows. Numerous high-elevation water bodies like Saddlebag Lake and Tioga Lake feed into steep drainages such as Lee Vining Canyon, illustrating the hydrological significance of the Sierra Nevada crest. The map also delineates the precise border between Tuolumne and Mono counties as it traverses peaks like Gaylor Peak and North Peak.
