Sonora & Tioga Passes: 108 and 120

[Motorcycle Mayor]

I'm planning a ride looping through the Sonora and Tioga passes. Anyone have recent reports on the road conditions? I know that Sonora has been open since mid/late May, and Tioga was fully opened on July 1st. But I'm curious if anyone has either of them recently.

Thanx in advance for whatever info you can share.

If they are open then it's rideable.

I have not ridden them yet this year but there still is a bit of snow in the high country. Should still make for nice vistas and waterfalls .

Post a ride report when you go.

Yeah, the snow caught my eye last week as I flew back from JFK to SFO. Should make for a great ride...but I figure it doesn’t hurt to get some sense of what I’m heading into, as I haven’t ridden either pass before.

Thanx for the perspective.

Oh man you are in for a real treat, wonderful roads. I like to ride west to east on 108 as it just seems better looking going that way.

And now I know which way to go: clockwise!
