Hi Guys, Is the consensus that I'd need a 4wd and snow chains if I want to cross the Sierra anywhere north of I15? Would I need either/both if I continued up from Death Valley to Reno and crossed via the I80 to Sacramento? Your help is very useful and much appreciated, coming from a country where we have only a few roads that are blocked by snow each winter! Calumby clum2 - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada.

Thanks guys; gophersnake, I'm guessing snow chains may be a difficult add-on to a rental pickup in Las Vegas?! I really fancied seeing Death Valley and was going to head via there; would I need snow chains if I was to bypass Yosemite and head over the Sierra at Tahoe?by clum2 - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada.

My wife and I are over from Scotland in mid-November, driving from Vegas to SF. I'd been hoping to spend a couple of nights in Yosemite on the way, hopefully get a couple of hikes in. I'm guessing from the posts here that all the roads over from that side of the Sierra are shut by then; is my best option then to head up via Fresno and Oakhurst? If I do that, is there much to do at that time of yeby clum2 - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion
