Highway 120 - Tioga Pass Road - By FrecciaRossa

I was staying down in Mammoth Lakes and intended on getting back to my home near Sacramento by taking Carson Pass. But, I ran into a fire that had Hwy 395 closed at Lee Vining and took Hwy 120 over Tioga Pass instead. Coming up 120, the peaks are so close to you and the elevation changes are so dramatic between you and the mountaintops hovering above that it feels like you are riding in an enclosure. One big, beautiful enclosure with a blue lid.
