Advice for towing in Yosemite

Hi guys. Need some tips/pointers on towing into yosemite. My TV is a 2011 Tundra Crewmax 5.7 4wd, My TT is a 2007 Keystone Outback 27RSDS, length about 30ft, weight about 7k loaded. I just got this TV last week and have made one trip with it so far. OMG what a difference compared to my last TV (Chevy Tahoe).
This weekend is the big trip to yosemite. I will be coming from Sacramento Area and staying at an RV park called Yosemite Pines in Groveland near West Yosemite Entrance. I have read and heard the drive in via ca120 can be scary. Looking for any advice, tips, pointers. Thanks in advance.

Kevin

It's not to bad, has some sections with hairpin turns and decent grades but usually it's very busy so most of the traffic is going slow. Lots of pull out are available to let folks pass. Biggest thing is coming down, make sure you use your lower gears and keep the speed down. Use brakes as little as possible. Nothing worse than over heating the brakes and feeling brake fade.
Have fun!
