From San Francisco Bay Area, we headed out east and joined HWY 120 all the way to the park. Closer to the park after you drive by a lake you will begin to see the road winding and going up in elevation. Depending on time of year, HWY 120 along Tioga Road goes up to a little over 6300 ft high and so at this high point on the road and nearby you will see a lot of snow. Always check online for road information before you head out in case snow closed parts of HWY 120. The park as I saw it had a number of steep or almost vertical rock solid mountains, the rivers look very clean and clear. Visitor center are helpful, though the walking distance from the nearest parking lot to the visitor center location was far too long a walk. My experience there was interesting, water falls look nice.
