If you look at the map, you will see that getting from LA to San Francisco up the coast via Yosemite in two days is nearly impossible, since Yosemite is near the eastern border of the state.

As Puter implied, you must choose The Coast or Yosemite unless you add a day and plan on driving twice the shortest San Francisco-Los Angles distance.

thank you, if i drive from la to yosemite and yosemite to sf and not up the coast, is it feasible in 2 days? where do you recommend staying near yosemite and how much time is minimum to spend there? are there any nice things to see from la to yosemite and yosemite tosf? thanks so much, i must finalize plans soon!

The drive from LA to Yosemite is going to take at least 6-7 hours. You%26#39;ll have to leave really early in the morning to arrive at a decent time. There isn%26#39;t really much to ';see'; along the way. The route takes you through the San Joaquin Valley and the agricultural hub of California. It%26#39;s mostly flat and boring. You might pass a few things you find yourself pointing at, but nothing really worth stopping for.... except food and restroom breaks.

There%26#39;s a lot to see in Yosemite. You%26#39;ll have to decide which sites are the most important to see, choose 3 or 4 out of your choices and save the other sites for a future visit.

Yosemite to San Francisco would take you, again, through the SJ Valley and would take around 4-5 hours, depending on traffic. With a major artery out of commission, it may take longer.

To answer your question about getting to Yosemite from LA.

Take the 99 freeway north to the 41 freeway in Fresno. The 41 is the route that will get you to Yosemite. The distance is approx. 200 miles from LA to Fresno. Not quite sure on the distance from Fresno to Yosemite. I%26#39;d estimate another 100+ miles.
