Is Tioga Pass worth?

Tioga Pass. The pass itself is the official entry point to Yosemite from the east side. If you are entering from here, you will need to pay the park fee, but just for a day driving Tioga Pass alone, it is worth it. This is also the highest point on this road, and here you will be close to 10,000 feet.

Is October a good time to go to Yosemite?

AUTUMN (early September, October, November)

How long is Clouds Rest hike?

It's a 20 mile (32 km) round trip from the valley floor with just under 6,000 feet of elevation gain - a thousand feet more than the extremely strenuous Half Dome trail. You'd think that after a 6,000-foot descent, your knees would never talk to you again, but in fact they'll probably be noisier than ever.
