It is unlikely that Tioga Pass will be open for Memorial Day weekend. You will definitely be able to cross the mountains using Highway 50 through South Lake Tahoe. You may be able to use Highways 88 and 89 to get across, but they close quickly if we get any snow at this time of year. It's unlikely that Highway 4 or Highway 108 will be open by the end of May either.
If you visit the Caltrans road conditions website (www.dot.ca.gov) you can type in the numbers of other highways to see if they are open. Definitely do this before you start driving! Good luck.

Bikers have been riding up the pass already---I believe that's how Greg got all those photos! You just have to carry your bike around the lower gate. Be sure to watch out for rock falls and sliding snow. Please give the heavy machinery and Caltrans trucks a wide berth to allow them to do their job getting the pass open! And have fun!
