Mono Pass is a mountain pass, just outside Yosemite National Park, near the region of Tuolumne Meadows. Mono Pass is between Mount Gibbs and .[1]

There is another pass also named Mono less than 40 miles away in the Rock Creek/Little Lakes Valley area. Both Mono Passes are in the Inyo National Forest. The Mono Pass in the Rock Creek/Little Lakes Valley area is accessed by the Mosquito Flats Trailhead rather than the Mono Pass Trailhead in Yosemite National Park.

Native history[]

When only Native Americans lived in the area, and for a time after, a major trading trail went over Mono Pass and through Bloody Canyon to Mono Lake, just to the east of the Yosemite area.[2][3][4][5][6]

The location of Mono Pass[]

Mono Pass is just outside of Yosemite National Park, though the trail starts along the Tioga Road 1.4 miles (2.3 km) south of the entrance, inside the park.[1]
