Drive from Orange County to Lake Tahoe then to Yosemite

[OCfamily]

Hi everyone,

We have family road trip planned for the end of july and was hoping to get some opinions on the best route to pull the TM with my 2013 Toyota Sienna. We have a two week trip from orange county to south lake tahoe for a week then yosemite for another, the route I'm looking at right now for my TV and TM -2619 is up US 359 then head west on US 50 lake tahoe, then from Lake tahoe to yosemite would be head east on US50, then south on 395, then west 120/Lee Vining into yosemite valley.

Reading online, it appears the route is preferred/described as easier to tow. Was hoping if anyone in the forum has any first hand experience with this route or recommend a suitable route for our TV and TM.

Thank you
