Depends on where in Yosemite you are starting from, but I would take US-395

I did. A few months ago. Mentioned it here. Beautiful trip!

even it were longer than I-5. I-5 is really boring.

But Tioga Pass is usually closed by October. Quickest way then would be
99 to 58 and then over to 15.

Definately check road conditions before you travel in the mountains, but as
far as I know, Tioga Pass has been open through the end of October every year
in this century. See: http://www.dot.ca.gov/hq/roadinfo/clsdates.htm
Sometimes it is still open in December.

Yeah, it would be very unusual for it to be closed in early October.
However, the first Thursday or Friday of October some years ago, a
friend and I had to take a different route to get to Mammoth because
Tioga Pass was closed when we had to make our decision. It opened
later in the afternoon, but we didn't want to take the chance and
risk getting turned back when we were already partway across Yosemite.

So as Ken says, keep a close eye on the weather reports. But chances
are, you'll be fine.

Sometimes the road is temporarily (like a few hours or overnight) closed due to
an early season snow storm. In October, the snow usually melts pretty quickly.
Er, yeah, I think that's what I was saying. :-) Hence my comment about
the road reopening in the afternoon. But we couldn't be sure it would
reopen before we got there, so we did the safe thing and took an
alternate route.
