2. Agree, which is why I said it was a stretch to name it Yosemite.
3. Agree, closer to Kings Canyon.
I wasn't disagreeing with any of your information just trying to help clarify for travelers.
For example, that extra 45 minute drive when staying in Visalia between the Three Rivers/Sequoia entrance gate to Giant Forest consists of 130 curves and 12 switchbacks. I don't mind drive but some people do. Coming from the Fresno side it is less curvy. So a question of personal preferences and choices.
