What’s the best route from Death Valley to Yosemite?

I’m road-tripping it through California for the next few weeks, and I want to hit all the major scenic sites from south to north. It looks like a straight shot, but what’s the best route to get from Death Valley to Yosemite?

California
has a lot to offer when it comes to scenic destinations, and you’ve chosen two of the best! It certainly does look like you should be able to go straight north from
Death Valley
to
Yosemite
, but the best route from Death Valley to Yosemite actually takes you south first:
  • From US-190 to
  • US-14 to
  • US-58 to
  • US-99 to
  • US-41 into Yosemite
This might seem overly circuitous, but unless you plan on hiking through the Sierra Nevadas, it’s the quickest and easiest way to get there. This route does have tolls, so be sure you have a bit of spare change handy to cover them.
