I would like to thank everyone for the information, it sounds like no matter how I go I will be climbing a hill higher than Space Mountain.
After considering all the inputs I think I will take 50 to 99 to 120. Sounds like going east on 120 to Groveland will be fun. I will be the slow flat lander.
Thanks again.
That is the safest route, but I still think you would be better off taking 89 South to 88 and then 88 to 49 and 49 to 120. And yes, there is no way to get to Yosemite without going uphill and no way to get out without going downhill. I don't know why they had to put that darn park in the mountains anyway! :)
If anybody is too scared of grades, then the best road into Yosemite is Highway 140 through Merced. Highway 140 mostly follows along the Merced River and right into Yosemite Valley. It stays at the lowest elevation but even it still has hills.
