Things To Do
Epic Alpaca Tours
~30 Miles South West of Mariposa. $10 for Adults, $5 for children under 12, Free for children under 3. Epic Alpacas started in 2012 with two male alpacas and turned into a full-blown breeding operation, now producing some of the top alpacas in the country. The focus of breeding production centers around grey and appaloosa alpacas with superior fleece, conformation, and personality. Nestled on ~45 acres in the foothills of the Sierra Nevadas, just outside Yosemite National Park, the ranch boasts a beautiful array of rolling grass hills, live oaks, pines, and a large pond. With an assortment of animals, including the alpacas, horses, donkeys & zonkey, and an assortment of guinea and peafowl, the ranch has something for everyone to check out!
Hetch Hetchy Entrance into Yosemite
Hetch Hetchy is the most northern entrance. Check this link for Points of Interest and additional information: https://www.nps.gov/yose/planyourvisit/hh.htm
Arch Rock Entrance into Yosemite National Park
This is the first entrance Lindsey and I used. The drive into the park is incredible. If you're staying in Briceburg, Midpines, Mariposa, or El Portal this entrance will likely be the fastest.

South Entrance (Fish Camp) into Yosemite National Park
Highway 41 entrance, also known as Fish Camp Entrance. This is my favorite entrance. Upon entering, just down the road is the entrance into Mariposa Grove which is home to over 500 giant Sequioia trees. Further down the road is tunnel view which gives you an incredible spectable of El Capitan, Half Dome, and Bridalveil Fall. If you're staying in Fish Camp, Sugar Pine, Oakhurst, Ahwahnee, Nipinnawasee, Bass Lake, or Coarsegold this entrance will likely be the fastest.
