Ebbetts Pass National Scenic Byway

Area Status: Closed

Jutting up from the heart of the Sierra Nevada with Lake Tahoe and Yosemite National Park as its neighbors, the byway is a 61-mile stretch of Highways 4 and 89 between the towns of Arnold in Calaveras County and Markleeville in Alpine County, California.
