The drive would be about 200 miles. You would have to head west out of the Sierra Nevadas, head south, and then head back into the mountain range. The long route is due to the fact that Lake Tahoe and Yosemite do not have any connecting roads within the mountains.
Mainly in the Sonoran Desert of Arizona and Mexico. A very, very few might be found in Eastern California. They are not found just in "the desert," nor are they found in Canada, New Mexico, or Texas.

Olympic gets its name from the mountain range within the park.
According to wikipedia:
The mountains were originally called "Sun-a-do" by the Duwamish Indians, while the first European to see them, the Spanish navigator Juan Perez, named them "Sierra Nevada de Santa Rosalia", in 1774. But the English captain John Meares, seeing them in 1788, thought them beautiful enough for the gods to dwell there, and named them "Mount Olympus" after the one in Greece. Alternate proposals never caught on, and in 1864 the Seattle Weekly Gazette persuaded the government to make the present-day name official.
No, they are not linked together or part of each other in any way. Yosemite National Park is located in California while Yellowstone National Park is located in Wyoming, which is hundreds if not thousands of miles away.
Half Dome is approximately 8,839 feet high and surprisingly isn't the highest part of the park. Despite it not being the highest, it is one of the park's most famous features and attracts hundreds if not thousands of climbers and hikers who attempt to summit it each year.
Since 1987, Yosemite has recorded between three and four million visitors each year. In 2011 the number was 3.951,393.
The Yosemite National Park was first discovered in 1851. It was discovered by the Native Americans. The first groups to enter the Yosemite Valley were the white men who were planning to kill the Native Americans and kick them out of their homeland.
Yosemite National Park is famous for its rock formations, water falls, and wide publicity. It is quite a popular park, located in Northern California, with famous spots such as Half Dome, Yosemite Falls, Glacier Point, Bridal Veil Falls, and Camp Wawona. This is as much as I know so ENTER MORE PLEASE!!
Many of the animals in the valley are herbivores, eating berries and nuts. Unfortunately, in recent years, park visitors have been feeding the wildlife causing them to become unhealthy and reliant upon human food.
Yosemite happens to be located in Northern California.

There are sequoias in the Sierra Nevada in Central California and on the coast from about Santa Cruz north. The Sierra mountains house the Giant Sequoias (biggest trees by volume); the coast the Coastal redwoods (tallest trees).
The first humans to view this valley did so about 12,000 years ago. John Walker was most likely the first person of European descent to see it, doing so in 1833. The first established record of a visit by anyone of European descent was in 1851.
Well, if you typed it, you should know it but let me tell you a bit about the name.
The name "Yosemite" means literally "among them are killers" or "there are killers among them" and is a corrupted form of an American Indian word used to describe the Ahwahneechee people.
