I love both those roads. I went west over Tioga on my way back from Sturgis last month and I'll go east over Tioga next month for my annual ride to Death Valley. I love riding the high country of Yosemite! Lastl year myself and my riding buddies did every pass between Tahoe and Yosemite in four days of wonderful riding.
Looks like you used a telephoto lens to bring Half Dome better into the picture from Olmstead Point. Nice.

The weather was clear and sunny. It was a little cool on the passes. I was wearing full leather jacket with insulated insert and leather overpants. Down in the lowlands I was just wearing a vest.
The helmet is a Biltwell. I really like it.

Speaking of Death Valley, I booked a room for Furnace Creek Ranch Sept. 28 through Oct.1. I'm really looking forward to riding down there. I haven't been there in 40+ years. Any suggestions on where to ride and what to do there?

I've been over 120 and 108 so many times in a car, but not on a bike. But, next week I'm taking Hwy 4 to 49 and down to Oakhurst, and then coming back 49 up to 88.
I don't want to wait too deep into October due to risk of snow, but on the other hand, the way the winters have been lately, that might not be a concern at all.

I love Ebbits Pass. We were going to do a "three pass ride", Sonora Pass, Monitor Pass and Ebbetts Pass, but decided not to go that route because of the Butte Fire. Next week I want to get over there and survey the area. The fire is under control now.
I have read predictions calling for a wet winter due to the El Nino phenomenon. We sure could use it.
