Yosemite via Highway 120 (Big Oak Flat Entrance)

Highway 120 through Groveland reaches Yosemite National Park at the Big Oak Flat Entrance, making Tuolumne County one of the most direct gateways to the park for Bay Area and Central Valley travelers. Demand along the corridor peaks in summer and early fall.

Tioga Road, which continues Highway 120 across the park to the Eastern Sierra, is seasonal: it typically opens in late spring or early summer once snow is cleared and closes with the first major storms in fall. Member properties should watch the park's current-conditions page for road status and any entrance reservation requirements, which can shift booking patterns quickly.
