I am not fond of driving on mountainous roads with sheer drop-offs. If this is what the Tioga Road is like, then I will go in the southern entrance.Can you give me any info? Thanks!!

It is my suggestion to check with the department of transportation prior to traveling to Yosemite to check to see if the passes are open. If it is closed, the person travelling from Nevada should drive into Bakersfield, Fresno, and then up Highway 41, the south entrance of the park.
