If you want the scenic route and to get off the Interstate, take a right at Kingman AZ. Go up through Vegas and either take 95 up or cut over to 395 through Death Valley or one of the other roads and then come in to Yosemite the back way on 120. Or just take the Interstate up and enter the park on 140 or 41. 140 is the easiest road into the park and remains at the lowest altitude.
120 is Tioga pass. That pass doesn't open up until late spring, sometimes not until June depending on the snow pack. If you are planning an April trip to Yosemite, I would take 58 as others have mentioned.
He said late April or early May. Tioga usually opens in the first of May. So if you would like to take my advice, simply check the website to see if Tioga has opened or not when you are on your trip.
