National Park

Yosemite National Park

Intro
    By Plane
Several airlines serve Fresno Yosemite International (off of Hwy 41) and the Merced Air Terminal (off of Hwy 140).

 

By Car
There are four entrances to the park: -South entrance on Highway 41 north from Fresno -Arch Rock entrance on Highway 140 west from Merced -Big Oak Flat entrance on Highway 120 west from Modesto and Manteca -Hetch Hetchy Entrance (to Hetch Hetchy Valley) -Tioga Pass entrance on Highway 120 east from Lee Vining and Highway 395. The Tioga Pass entrance is closed from the first major snowstorm in November until late May to June due to snow. All other park entrances are kept open all year, but may require tire chains because of snow anytime between November and April.

 

By Public Transporation
Visitors can ride YARTS buses from gateway communities outside the park into Yosemite Valley. YARTS and VIA buses connect with Amtrak and Greyhound in Merced.

 

Getting Around
Free shuttle buses are recommended in Yosemite Valley (year round), Wawona/Mariposa Grove (spring-fall), and Tuolumne Meadows (summer).
