Yosemite South Recreation Area

 South of Yosemite National Park, the Highway 41 corridor north of Oakhurst and Sky Ranch road offer a variety of recreational activities including many campgrounds, picnicking, hiking, bicycling, horseback riding, OHV and motorcycle trails, a Giant Sequoia Grove, a historic logging railroad and the east part of the Sierra Vista Scenic Byway. Sky Ranch road is the eastern part of the Sierra Vista Scenic Byway (insert hyperlink), taking you up into some of the most remote and beautiful areas in the Sierra National Forest. Although parts of the road remain unpaved and traveling is slow, the peaceful rustic campgrounds, Giant Sequoia Grove, views of Fresno Dome and rushing creeks make it well worth the drive.
