The Bus Stops in Yosemite National Park

The Yosemite National Park, located in California, USA, offers a free bus service to its visitors with 19 stops throughout Yosemite Valley. Because some roads inside Yosemite Valley are one-way roads, some locations only have one stop. Other roads are two-way, and have two stops, one on each side. The bus driver will often try to get you switch the bus because that way you will get to your destination a lot faster. But, chances are that as a tourist you are in no hurry. Driving the bus the full circle is a very nice way to get to see all of Yosemite Valley, especially if, like myself, you happen to be disabled and cannot hike on foot.
