California State Route 108, SR 108 Bus to US-395

 

APM: 19

Location: SR 108 and Long Barn Rd, Tuolumne Cty

Mileage sign after 108 Business rejoins. At various times, California has wanted to make SR 108 an all-weather divided highway pass over the Sierras, so there are some random stretches of divided highway.

APM: 26

Location: SR 108 and Old Mono Rd, Cold Springs, Tuolumne Cty

A few miles later, we’re back to two lanes as we enter unincorporated Cold Springs.

APM: 30

Location: SR 108 and Pinecrest Lake Rd, Tuolumne Cty

Four miles after that, keep left to head up to Sonora Pass. There aren’t many 108 shields over the pass.

APM: 31

Location: SR 108 and Old Strawberry Dr, Strawberry, Tuolumne Cty

Just after that, we’ll enter unincorporated Strawberry.

APM: 42

Location: SR 108 and NF-5N21, Tuolumne Cty

Mileage sign ten miles later, focusing on more long-distance destinations than US 395.

APM: 50

Location: SR 108 and Clarks Fork Rd, Tuolumne Cty

Reassurance shield (!) eight miles later.

APM: 53

Location: SR 108 and Dardanelle Rd, Tuolumne Cty

As we head out of Dardanelle we’re advised that trucks are going to have trouble in ten miles and need to turn around here.

APM: 65

Location: SR 108 near Sonora Pass, Tuolumne Cty

Several miles later, we’ll climb out of the smoke and SR 108 becomes pretty scenic. SR 108 is probably the least exciting of the Sierras passes – I prefer 120 and 88.

APM: MNO/0

Location: SR 108 at Sonora Pass, Mono Cty

After a brief dip into Alpine County, we’ll enter Mono County at the top of Sonora Pass.

SR 108 doesn’t have a lot of descent to make on the east side of the Sierras- the junction with US 395 is over 6,000 feet.

Location: SR 108 and US 395, Mono Cty

Eleven miles later, we’ll approach US 395.
