'Mode': AROUND
Category: Bus
Getting TO/AROUND: Yosemite National Park offers a free shuttle bus around the east end of Yosemite valley to all visitors. Use it! It reduces pollution and traffic jams that often result in the crowded summer months. Be prepared for standing room only. During the winter, usually only 2 or 3 buses run at a time so be prepared for a wait of 15 minutes or more if you just miss the bus. I found in the winter it's faster to walk from place to place than to wait for the bus. During the summer, 10 or more busses run reducing the wait time to within just a few minutes.

'Mode': TO
Category: Car/Motor Home
Getting TO/AROUND: Highway 49 provides access to the south entrance of the park from Fresno and Oakhurst. Highway 140 allows access to the Arch Rock entrance from the west in Merced and Mariposa. Highway 120 enters the park from the northwest at the Big Oak Flat entrance and provides access from Manteca. Highway 120 provides the only access to the park from the east. It hits U.S. 395 in Lee Vining about 9 miles east of Tioga Pass. The highway is closed between Tioga pass and Crane Flats during the winter. NOTE: (Updated 9/4/06) Highway 140 between Mariposa and the Arch Rock entrance of Yosemite is now open 24 hours a day. The actual roadbed is still buried under rock from the massive rockslide that continues to be active, but two temporary bridges now allow for passage around the slide. Only one way traffic is allowed through the detour, alternating between westbound and eastbound in ten minute intervals. Thus expect some delays. Vehicles over 28 feet in length are not allowed.
