The Byway runs through a large portion of the 2020 Creek Fire area in which 380,000 acres of the forest were transformed by one of California’s largest wildfires. You can see firsthand both the impacts of this elemental force and the early stages of the area’s recovery. In many places the landscape has changed, the scenes altered, but Nature’s raw beauty and resilience is on full display. Nelder Grove Yosemite National Park isn’t the only home for Giant Sequoias in the area. Tucked away just a bit south of the park is Nelder Grove, a 1,540-acre home in the Sierra National Forest to roughly seventy of these wonderful monarchs. With hiking trails, historic cabins and an interpretive center, Nelder is both a natural wonder and a unique window into the pioneer history of the area. Note - The US Forest Service is implementing a multi-year fuel reduction project in Nelder Grove which will mean it is closed to public access for potentially up to two years. Please call the USF Bass Lake Ranger District Office (559) 877-2218 before planning to visit the grove. Mile High Curve / Mile High Vista Enjoy the expansive view looking above the 123,000-acre Mammoth Pool Reservoir and over the many geologic formations and rugged mountain peaks of this dynamic landscape. Beasore, Cold Springs and Jackass Meadows Come in late spring or early summer to see these meadows bursting with the vibrant colors of mountain wildflowers! Jones Store This family-run business has a history going back many generations. Stop in for a burger and a slice of freshly baked pie with a heaping serving of ice cream on top. Be sure to bring cash (credit cards are not accepted) and arrive early as they serve what they have until it runs out… and run out they do. Fresno Dome Take the short hike to the top of Fresno Dome to enjoy beautiful panoramic views of the Sierra National Forest. It was from atop this granite dome that John Muir was able to find the Giant Sequoias of what is now known as Nelder Grove. Globe Rock This very large (over 15 tons), nearly spherical rock perched on a granite pedestal makes for a unique photo opportunity. Former President Theodore Roosevelt was reportedly photographed here during his visit to Yosemite in 1903. This formation was not placed here by glaciers (or giants) but was formed instead by erosion right where it sits. There are many sights to see along the Byway - here just a few that we recommend you take in: A Day Road Trip Exploring a Madera County Hidden Gem JESSE ROSS CABIN • VYMC GLOBE ROCK • VYMC FRESNO DOME • STEVE MONTALTO/HIGHMOUNTAIN IMAGES FIRE You will see it's impact and the landscape’s renewal in many places along the Byway. 2023 - 2024 Visitors Guide- Visit Yosemite | Madera CountyYosemiteThisYear.com | info@yosemitethisyear.com 22Manzanita Lake Mammoth Pool Reservoir S a n J o a q u i n R i v e r N o r t h F o r k F r e s n o R i v e r S outh For k M e r c e d R i v e r L e w i s C r e e k G r i z z l y R o a d B e a s o r e R o a d C e n t r a l C a m p R o a d 2 2 2 2 7 4 R d . 2 2 2 R o a d 4 2 6 R o a d 2 2 3 R o a d 2 7 42 2 2 2 2 6 2 2 1 2 2 1 2 0 0 R o a d 2 2 5 R o a d 2 2 2 R o a d 2 0 0 R d . 6 3 2 S k y R a n c h R d .
