Topo and GPS tracks for today's route. ~21 miles and 4500ft of gain out of the Mono Pass trailhead near the Tioga Pass entrance of Yosemite. This was my 2nd outing from this trailhead- the first being an outing to Parker/Wood back in 2004. (I also returned via this trailhead on a loop hike of Dana & Gibbs.
