Any of you guys have a suggestion on the best route from Salt Lake to Yosemite (Bass Lake CA)?

Thank you,

    That is the route I went (but in reverse).

    A good site to check for conditions in the park: Current Conditions. Tioga Pass is usually open by July 1st but not always.

  • Bass lake is off HWY 41. +-60mi South of Yosemite & +- 50mi North of Fresno.

    395 will get you to East side Yosemite+-. Then 120 will get you over the top to West side & access to Valley floor~ and HWY 41 South. Between Snow at high elev. & current FIRE. ALL of these roads may NOT be open.

    JM2¢ ~~ YMMV
