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...

Canoe,
Route 88 is my favorite way across, Highway 50 is fine. Tioga Pass road is direct, but windy and narrow and exposed.
Route 49 is tight and up and down and wearing. It is fine in short stretches. The northern part is a little easier.
Last year I went to Yosemite from near Carson City on Tioga Pass just before the snow, but I came home by going home on 49 to Route 88 which is easier. All routes are scenic, just avoid Route 4 over Ebbetts Pass.
