Summary:
Our field studies trip to Yosemite National Park reached a climax when we reached Tioga Pass (9,943 ft / 3,031 m) at the east end of the park. The pass is the highest highway route in the state (a paved road in the White Mountains and the Bristlecone Forest reaches just a few feet higher, at 10,075 feet). The scenery at this elevation is spectacular. The surrounding peaks reach over 13,000 feetContent analysis:
