We had read that there was a chain requirement over one of the passes so we decided to wait awhile before leaving. By 10:00, the chain warning had been lifted, and we were on our way.
The first half of the trip was rather interesting. It snowed the whole way, but thankfully it was warm enough that the snow was not sticking to the road. Some of the passes were quite steep, the winding switchbacks without guardrails rather harrowing.
We called the picture above the Moki Dugway for RVs - it was challenging and one of the roads without guardrails.
Once we were out of the snow, the drive became much easier. The finals bits of Nevada were flat and straight, we managed to get through Sacramento after rush hour, which shortened the trip a bit, and finally got into Yosemite about 10:00. A long, long twelve-hour day which gratefully went well!
