RV2300 Posted May 28, 2021 Report Share Posted May 28, 2021 Hi Everyone, I am towing a 28 ft travel tailor from the Sacramento area to Bass Lake near Yosemite. I was hoping someone could suggest a preferred route or any other information about the route. Thank you in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk W Posted May 28, 2021 Report Share Posted May 28, 2021 I would probably go south 99 to Merced, then west on 140 to 49. Quote Good travelin !...............KirkFull-time 11+ years......

RV2300 Posted May 28, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2021 Do you think 140 to 49 is a better route than taking 99 past Merced to Chowchilla and then cutting across Avenue 26 / Road 603 to 41? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! Different doesn't mean better; it simply means different. What is better depends only on the person involved. Some people like freeways but some avoid them. Some like going through small towns but some don't like slow travel. Without knowing what type of travel you prefer there is no way for us to guess the best route for you.

2gypsies Posted May 28, 2021 Report Share Posted May 28, 2021 (edited) I'd recommend 99 Exit 155 at Madera to 145 to 41 north to Oakhurst and on to Bass Lake. On Hwy 49 between Auburn and Oakhurst it's very steep... up to 9% grade.
