I am trying to figure out a one day hike from Tioga Road to YV. Is it possible to go from Porcupine Flat and down through Upper Yosemite Falls? I'd like to do the hike in one day and am hoping for a 10-12 miles hike.
Thanks in advance.

Have always wondered about hiking from Olmstead Point on Tioga rd. to the
Valley. A reasonable one day hike?

Hi,
Yes. We did this 2 years ago. Here is the actual elevation plot based off my GPS (about 10 miles and ave. 1.5 mph. With stops, It took us 8 hours.)
Here is another one that we did last 7/9 but a round trip including Indian Rock, North Dome, Top of Yosemite Falls - 12 hours, about 17 miles and ave. 1.2 mph

Porcupine or Yosemite Creek to Indian Arch to North Dome to Yosemite Point to Yosemite Falls overlook to O-My-God Point to Columbia Rock to Camp 4 in the valley.
Long day, but doable as a day hike.

Which trailhead for this hike do you prefer as a starting point, Yosemite Creek or Porcupine Creek?

Well, not really my place to criticize what anybody thinks is a great day's hike but, FWIW, doing all that in one day strikes me as giving you very little time to actually enjoy much of it (unless (maybe) you're planning to make it a VERY long day). Again, just my point of reference but, in a normal (i.e., primarily focussed on getting from point A to point B) walk/hike/sojourn, I normally move at about 4 miles per hour. In a place like Yosemite, stopping to notice everything wonderful around me, that drops to about 1 mile per hour...not because I CAN'T go faster but because I don't want to. Just my two cents but I'd think that you'd have a much nicer day if you chose a shorter distance and took the time to actually appreciate the details.

You really hike a 15 minute mile? That's a pretty brisk walking pace even on a flat paved trail or sidewalk, let alone on a non-paved, non-level typical hiking trail.

I think by far the most scenic way is to park your car at Cathedral Lake trailhead
If you can find a parking place there.
You usually can on week days. Weekends might redifine what "at" Cathedral trailhead means.
