Las Vegas, NV to Lee Vining, CA
Getting several different routes using Microsoft Streets & Trips vs Garmin Nuvi. Thinking US 95 to US 6 to US 395 Is it worth it to take a shortcut on CA 120 from Benton across to 395? Traveli...

Original Poster here - we did take the 120 shortcut from Benton to 395. As mentioned there were some rolling dips that you didn't want to take too quickly. It was also pretty slow in the very beginning with several switchbacks. All in all, we thought it was a pretty drive and would take it again if in the area. We really enjoyed our time in the Lee Vining side of Yosemite. We drove through Tioga Pass 3 days in a row in the minivan and were just as impressed each time. We hiked out to North Dome from Tioga Road (about 10 miles round trip). Would highly recommend that hike to anyone wanting a different view of Half Dome and the Yosemite Valley.
