Can anyone tell me what might have been the detailed route for our
RNO-SJC flight today, Mon 28 July, 1:00 to 1:55 pm (in terms of common
geographic waypoints or GPS coordinates)?

Looks like you did pass by the Yosemite area. In case the URL goes
stale, the flight path was due south out of RNO, then southwest to
Merced, and then northwest into SJC (El Nido Five Arrival).

A few minutes spent with Google Earth also confirmed that any hopes I
may have had for a career in airline navigation would best be abandoned;
I should stick to well-signed freeways.

Thanks for the pointer to the flight history above, which I was able to
recover, and thinking back on our ground path at Reno before takeoff
also makes it clear that we indeed departed more or less straight S on
runway 16 R and continued in that direction for some time; with the
fairly gentle arc of the flight path helping to indicate why I failed to
notice any of the subsequent turns.
