We are travelling to Reno about 5/18, I understand that it is unlikely that we can travel by car into Tuolome Meadows at that time, so I have two questions. First, what is the best option to get to the Yosemite Valley from Reno at that time of year. Second, are there outfitters that might take us from the eastern edge of the park into the park proper just to see the winter beauty? THank you. Michael

I-80 is always open, except during some major winter storms.
Highway 4 (Ebbetts Pass) and Highway 88 (Carson Pass) are shorter routes, if open.
You can always check the CalTrans website to see if they are open:

For Tioga Pass (in the park itself), check for Highway 120.
