I would recommend reading those. Secondly, I started on June 1st and had to make three detours due to snow--Tioga Pass (the pass had opened, but all the campgrounds were still under snow), Mt. Lassen, and Elk Pass (in Washington). The Mt. Lassen and Elk Pass detours were okay (except not getting to go to Lassen National Park and Mt. Rainer NP). However, the detour over Sonora Pass instead of Tioga was only good because I met people who gave me a ride to the top. Sonora is very steep (25% grades), narrow and winding. What I'm saying is, make sure you check all the Passes you will be going over since you are leaving mid-June. If, after you have read the blog posts, you have any other questions, feel free to ask.Colleen Welchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07688180575237455529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1089573331404048389.post-44918174216524607392012-04-01T19:49:36.667-07:002012-04-01T19:49:36.667-07:00My daughter and I are going to do this trip starti...My daughter and I are going to do this trip starting on May 16th (a college graduation present for her).
