The shortest way from Manteca to Yosemite is highway 120.
In Yosemite, this highway is called Big Oak Flat Road.
|
The road offers a first look at Yosemite's most famous domes El Capitan and Half Dome. |
Between the western park entrance and Yosemite Valley, the road winds for about 20 miles. Our favorite stop is about half way right after passing Cascade Creek. |
Fire has always been an important part of nature. Hwy 120 is a good place to watch how nature recovers from the big Stanislaus Fire in 1997. |
