 during the late Spring through early Fall and some roads around them are 
 not open year round.

Yosemite is often very nice in Winter and there are no crowds. But most of 
highway 120 is closed by snow from November through late Spring so you can't 
cross the Sierras to get to Nevada via Yosemite park, unless you are a good 
backcountry skier!  You will also need to carry chains ($30) if you go there 
, as chain control is routine with even light snow and they will not allow 
you on the road without them.
