What is the best route from Yosemite to San Francisco?

My family and I will be spending a few days in Yosemite National Park and plan on visiting San Francisco right after. What is the best way to get from Yosemite to the Bay Area?

The *views in Yosemite National Park** are breathtaking, and adding a visit to the Bay Area is a great idea! Here is the best route from Yosemite to
San Francisco
:
  • Start on Highway 120 W.
  • Continue onto I-205 W.
  • Continue on I-205 as it becomes I-580 W.
  • Drive over the Bay Bridge into San Francisco.
If
traffic isn’t too bad
, the route should take you a little less than three and a half hours.
San Francisco is a fantastic city with a lot to do. Consider taking some time to head to the Embarcadero and visit the Exploratorium or Fishermans Wharf. If you love art museums, the de Young Fine Arts Museum is one of the best in the country.
Before you start your trip, take some time to check your
car insurance
policy.
