WHERE IS YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK? Yosemite, one of eight National Parks in California, is located about 200 miles south east of San Francisco. Nestled among the Sierra Nevada Mountains, it is approximately a 4-5 hour drive to reach the park. Most international travelers would be wise to fly through San Francisco.
Assuming the cost is approx the same go to Fresno. It is the closest city to Yosemite, and depending on the time of day, the traffic in the south bay around San Jose can be utterly impossible. The only reasu you might use San Jose insated is if you were also going someplace in the Bay area. But your post sounds like you are concentrating on Yosemite.
