Have you been through Yosemite and Tuolumne?

Stephen is right, all of them. Probably my favorite is Tioga Pass. We like to spend time on the east side of the Sierras following Hwy 395. Lots to see and do. Venturing off on side roads along 395 surprises you with awesome vistas, volcanic features and beautiful lakes. Great area to visit in the spring and fall.

Tioga pass opens around June, snow-dependent.

I used to live in Tahoe.
Been to Yosemite some number of times. Once the high county is open, the valley will be crowded.

I'm with @Mrs.B. Tioga Pass. Here's a link to a thread with pics from the trip M and I took up that way not too long back. Also of the Bristlecone pine area to the east of there.
On our recent trip M and I really enjoyed several day hikes in the general area of Tuolumne Meadow and the east end of the Tioga Pass Rd. Pothole Dome, the T. Meadow and T. River, Lembert Dome, Dog Lake, Gaylor Lakes and Granite Lakes. Gorgeous high elevation classic Sierra Nevada mountains.

Tioga, as stated, along with other high country passes, is snow and rock slide vulnerable. Lucky to be openby june even though everyone would like it sooner than Mothers Day. Sonora pass as well.
