Travel Smarter, Adventure Better

Park your car and hop on Yosemite's free eco-friendly shuttles for convenient access throughout Yosemite Valley. Easy, green, and completely free!

Rivian EV chargers are available at all Yosemite Valley lodging locations, as well as near the Village Store. Stations are first-come, first-served with no reservations. 

Electric vehicle base rate for charging is $0.37/kWh with an idle fee that begins 10 minutes after charging is complete at $0.30/minute.

Yosemite roads can get busy during peak season and school breaks. Start early, before 9:00 AM or travel after 7:00 PM to avoid congestion and enjoy a smoother drive.

GPS often fails in Yosemite. Use a paper map and plan routes ahead. Avoid Chowchilla Mountain Road; instead, take Highway 41 for a reliable route.

Yosemite's scenic roads have turnouts for safe stops and stunning photos. If driving slowly, use them to let faster cars pass and enjoy the view responsibly.

Biking is the fastest way to explore Yosemite in summer. Enjoy miles of paved paths, including loops to Happy Isles and Mirror Lake, which are closed to cards without handicapped placards.
