- 395 north to Hwy 120 to Yosemite (about 20 miles north of Mammoth Lakes)
- I would always choose U.S.395 to Lee Vining and then CA120 over the Tioga Pass and into the park. Beautiful lakes, mountains, trees etc.

Early May drove I-5 to 99 to 41 to Coarsegold. Some construction north of Bakersfield. Drove 41 to I-5 on return.- If by “Yosemite” you mean Yosemite valley than your best route would be Crespro’s way. While 395 to 120 is beautiful, going up that way is a steeper grade, especially with your toad, and seems a roundabout way to go if your destination is in fact Yosemite valley.
- IMHO Definitely Crespro's way. Betsy.
- No matter which way you go, you better have reservations. But, I too love going up 395. Time wise? Take the 5 to the 99 to the 41.
