Hi, How is the cell phone reception on Tioga Pass? (Verizon, AT&T, Sprint, other.) Thanks! Lisa T.by LisaT - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion
Hi, For all the time I've been to Yosemite, both hiking and backpacking, I've somehow never managed to get atop the North Rim. (Yosemite Falls, Snow Creek, North Dome, etc.) Wondering if you might share your favorite trips (starting from either the Valley or Tioga Road)... 1. Day hike. (4-14 miles) 2. Backpacking trip. 2-3 days, 6-12 mi/day (depending on trail conditions) We are pretby LisaT - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion

Hi, Let us know if you ended up doing the trip, and what the crossings were like. I have a permit starting this Friday the 15th. But if it's still sketchy, we won't go. (Hoping that the much cooler weather this week will slow the snowmelt a bit.) - LisaTby LisaT - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion
