Verified traveler

Very long wait in the car - long lines of cars waiting.

3/5 - Okay

Verified traveler

Check the hours you are allowed to go through it as it is very limited. If you miss the time to cross the gate entrance before they shut down, you are stuck with a very long drive around Yosemite (twice the time)

3/5 - Okay
