Monitor Pass is one of the higher ones in the Sierras. It's closed in the winter. It's not as narrow or steep as S 4 or 102 (Sonora), but bicyclists like to include it in in their 'I can conquer the mountains' rides.

US50 the easiest way up to the Lake.

And if heading further north, choose the east side of the lake. The west side has a serious curve where it crosses a hogback.
