Transport to Mono Meadows TH

Post by CalMntHkr »

I'm taking my son for a loop around the Merced Headwaters (Lower Ottoway Lk, Red Pass, Lyell Fork). We are starting at Mono Meadows TH but leaving a car in the valley. We need transport from Yosemite Valley to Mono Meadow TH. Calling the Yosemite Info was less than helpful. So a simple question: If requested, will the Glacier Point Tour Buss make a stop at Mono Meadow?

Can anyone help here?

I don't give out specific route information, my belief is that it takes away from the whole adventure spirit of a trip, if you need every inch planned out, you'll have to get that from someone else.

I probably should have mentioned when we are going: August 2024

That might have help earlier....

Normally, yes, the tour bus driver will stop to let you out at the Mono Meadows Trailhead. That assumes that the Glacier Point Road is open, and the buses are operating. Neither is a given in these strange times.

This is great news. I'll certainly be posting a TR with pictures. Backpacking with your son: how good does it get!

Thanks so much!
