Yosemite West, California

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Yosemite West (pronounced "Yo-SEM-it-tee") is an unincorporated private community of resort homes located in the southern area of Yosemite National Park just off Wawona Road, a continuation of State Route 41 from Fresno. It is situated one mile (1.6 km) south of the Chinquapin intersection of Wawona Road with the Glacier Point Road at an altitude of 5,100-6,300 ft (1,550-1,900 m). The elevation reported by the USGS is 5866 feet (1788 m). The GPS coordinates are N 37 38.938' W 119 43.310' . Although appearing to be very near to the community of El Portal this community is part of Henness Ridge, towering nearly 3,000 feet (900 m) above the southern banks of the Merced River and the State Route 140 from Mariposa. Therefore, there is no direct access to Yosemite West from HWY 140. To get to Yosemite West from this direction, you need to enter the park through the Arch Rock entrance along Hwy 140 from Merced. This stretch of HWY 140, also known as El Portal Road, connects with the Wawona Road in the Yosemite Valley ( Bridalveil Falls) where you continue south to the entrance to Yosemite West.
