yosemite from lee vining

Check out Mono Vista RV in Lee Vining. In my mind the distance was more like 65 miles and it's such a scenic drive in itself. We have done day trips from Lee Vining and it's very doable. Make sure to check out Whoa Nellie Deli (Mobile Gas Station) in Lee Vining. You won't regret it!

Depending on your agenda, leave the trailer in Bishop and drive on up to Yosemite. Great trip and you can easily check campgrounds from McGee Creek to Lee Vining.

I just ran it on my maps program and it came back 89 miles. I've driven it several times and thought 190+ seemed way too excessive. Also says 2 hrs and 53 minutes.

Quite a pull up to Tioga Pass summit both east and west bound.

According to Mapquest it is 194.71 miles. If it were me I would take the fifth wheel to the west side of the park, check into an rv park, leave the fiver in the site and then see Yosemite. Call ahead to find one with an opening. Enroute you could check out first come first served campgrounds and maybe get lucky. I rechecked Mapquest and saw that the 194.71 mile figure was using SR 108 rather than the shorter SR 120. Sorry about that.
