We've been looking into flights from the tri cities ( Johnson city, Tn). Fresno is 2 1/2 hrs and Sacramento is 3 3/4 hrs from Yosemite. One flight would have us getting to Sac around 12:30pm and I think Fresno was around 1:00pm. That'd give us plenty of time to hit the valley if no problems arise.
Does anyone know of a faster way from Reno? The computer says its 5 1/2 hours. We'd be good with Tioga pass too. We aren't through hiking. We'll be doing a different loop in the park. We just got our map yesterday to start planning.
