Sightseeing
The South Gate entrance is just 30 minutes away. The Valley floor is another 50 minute drive. Breathtaking views, be sure to stop at the Tunnel View. It’s spectacular!
The park can be daunting because there’s so much to do, but at the entry gate, ask the range what’s best to do for a day trip. They’re always helpful to all visitors.

Hiking
Great trail! Trail doesn’t loop. When tried of hiking, turn around and go back the way you came. We like the trail entrance on Hwy 41 about 6 miles north from Oakhurst towards Yosemite.

Nelder Grove is a little difficult to get to, but worth the trip. Beautiful old forest and great for hiking. The nature center is about 1/2 mile up a dirt bumpy road, but it’s not too bad. If you’re concerned about driving up to the center, just park at the entrance gates and walk up.
