John,

I agree with Ken and Marilyn. Your best (easiest) drive is to take the route suggested. It is longer but much easier. The east approach over Hwy 120 is usually not open until the middle of May. Of course that is only a little over a week away. It may already be open.

I just checked the CA Road conditions and it is still closed.

The east side of the Sierras is a beautiful drive and I prefer it to the rather bland Hwy 99 or I-5 but it is a more difficult route.

If you are SKPs then I'd suggest you stay at the Escapees park located just south of Oakhurst. From there you can easily drive into the park.

Check out Steve and Vicki's Postcards section for details of the area. They have some great descriptions of the various roads in the area. They also have some great pictures.
