First time West,best route fron Grand Canyon, Yosemite etc.

Don't miss Bodie. Finest ghost town in the West.

You'll love 395. Since you're driving from NH you might as well see this beautiful country of ours rather than the interstates! Definitely stop in Lee Vining and take a side trip to Bodie. Enjoy.

Thanks everyone, going from Las Vegas to Death Valley to 395 to Yosemite.

If u go up Rt 395 to Lee Vining, a very pretty drive, there are some nice RV parks in that town. Stay an extra day and take the TOAD about 20 miles north to the turnoff to the world famous REAL Ghost town of Bodie!!!

kalynzoo...I don't understand your route suggestion. I-15 does not go to the I-5/14 split. Why wouldn't one just go to Barstow and take 58 across to Bakersfield and up 99?

Hwy 395 is a beautiful route with lots to see along the way....Mt. Whitney, Alabama Hills, Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest, Mammoth Lakes, June Lake loop, Mono Lake, etc. You might want to make a stop half-way up and use your toad to explore.

Tioga Pass is not a problem with a big rig. Nice wide road. If you have to use turnouts, there are plenty available.

Best? My choice would be the 40 to the 93 to Las Vegas. Then the 15 to the I-5/I-14 split, then the 1-5 to the 99. It's a long drive and I would plan three days, but that's just me. Enjoy, and Happy Trails.

Thanks for the info. How is driving the Tioga Pass, we have a 38 ft DP and a 35 ft DP. and two anxious wives??

Your timing is great -- Tioga Pass just opened! Here is an idea -- after Vegas and Death Valley, go up 395 to Lee Vining. Stay there (Mono Vista) and take your toad up to Tuolumne Meadows. Then take 120 across to whichever RV park you choose, using your toad to commute into Yosemite. The campgrounds inside the park are probably already booked up -- but maybe not? No hookups in the park, though.

From there, head to Three Rivers (Sequoia RV Ranch?) and use your toad to get up 198 to the Giant Forest area in Sequoia.
