Here we are on Tioga Pass entering Yosemite National Park. We were there the first weekend of October and experienced the first snowfall for the season.
The pass is subject to winter closure, due to high snowfall, normally from around the end of October until the end of May the following year, though these dates are subject to considerable variation. In heavy snow years, the road usually closes in early-October and could open as late as mid-July. In light snow years, the road could be closed in December and open as soon as April. The pass is at 9943 feet above sea level.

Beautiful clear, crisp day and photo. Love the glassy reflection.
This photo is so peaceful. I would love to have this view outside my cabin. I imagine an adirondack chair with a heavy blanket, a cup of Hot chocolate,a good book and silence except for the occasional snow dropping through the branches to the ground. That would of course be shattered by my girls screaming while having the time of their lives throwing snowballs at each other! Ah, it was fun while it lasted.
Wow! Snow so early. This is beautiful indeed.
Love it, man.
