Kings Canyon to Yosemite to Carson City
I understand Hwy 88 as being the best route east across the Sierras. Any suggestions as to the best routing to get to 88? I also understand it is inadvisable to take 49 from the south to get to Yosemi...

If your travels are in the summer take highway 120 across Tioga pass out of Yosemite and that will put you on the east side of the Sierras then US 395 north to the Nevada state capital. In winter you can use California state route 88, US 50 or even IR 80 depending on the weather. State route 88 crosses the Sierras at 8500 feet so most winter storms will be problematic for the duration of the storm. Highway 49 north of Yosemite is very windy and lots of climbing and descending. A great motorcycle road.
