The turn-off for Yosemite West is on Hwy. 41, about 1/4 mile south of  Chinquapin and the Glacier Point/Badger Pass Road turn-off. Online driving directions may be inaccurate.

Because of our elevation (6200 ft or 2000m), it's a good idea to double check local weather and road conditions before traveling. Tire chains can be required (4x4 included) any time from Oct.-April.
