October 2008 Tioga Pass

October 10, 2008 We woke up to strong winds and below freezing temperatures, but clear skies. We headed up Tioga Pass and on to our destination, the vally in Yosemite National Park. Tioga pass was pretty, but very cold and windy, we had crossed it on our way to the Sierra's just a few days before when it was still and warm.....we should have stopped to take our photos then.

I could have spent more time at this pond, but it was cold and windy and the clouds were building.  It seemed smarter to get down to the 4000 foot level of the valley floor in a hurry.
