Locals love the Mobile for its Mango Margaritas and surprisingly delicious gourmet food offerings. On the east side of Tioga Pass, about 12 miles before the entrance, travelers will find a Mobile gas station near the end of Hwy 120 in Lee Vining. On the west side, there’s a Chevron gas station located 8 miles from the Big Oak Flat Entrance between the Merced and Tuolumne Groves.

Remember, the trees you see lining Tioga Pass Road may seem tall, but once you stand at the base of a mature sequoia, you’ll understand what all the fuss is about.ĭid you remember to fill up your gas tank before heading out on your drive through Yosemite? There is a convenient fill-up station on each end of Tioga Pass. These are two giant sequoia groves that can easily be reached with a quick hike. Within the first ten miles of your drive, after entering the Big Oak Flat Entrance, you will pass the Merced and Tuolumne Groves. Whether you enter from the west or the east of the park, you are immediately greeted with jaw-dropping views. Driving straight through takes around one and a half hours, but we recommend adding a few scenic lookouts along your route. From the Big Oak Flat Entrance to the Tioga Pass Entrance is just over 54 miles along Hwy 120. One of the most famous drives through Yosemite will take you from one side of the park to the other.
