Last update January 2000
For anyone planning a trip to California a visit to Yosemite is a must. It is a place of awesome beauty. Only a 4 1/2 hour drive from San Francisco, you can visit Yosemite year round but not all of the roads in the park will be open during the winter months. There are 3 entrances to the park, the West, South and East. Accessible lodging is most available in towns near the south entrance. For general tourist information visit the Yosemite Sierra Visitors Bureau www.yosemite-sierra.org/and the Yosemite Area Traveler Information http://www.yosemite.com/. A small pamphlet titled "Access for Visitors with Disabilities" is available at all park entrances or to receive in advance of your trip call the Public Information Office at 209 372-0529 or write to Yosemite National Park, Public Information Office, PO Box 577, Yosemite CA 95389. This pamphlet was printed in 1993 so it is a little outdated. Access in the park is continually being upgraded. Accessible lodging within the park is rather limited. Part of this is due to a very bad flood in 1996 that wiped out a lot of the cabins. All lodging reservations within the park are made through one central number at 559-252-4848 or 559-255-8345 TDD. In some cases you need to make reservations up to one year in advance. Campground reservations can be made by calling 800-436-7275 or 888-530-9796 TDD. The Yosemite Lodge and the Ahwahnee offer the most accessible lodging options. For details see "lodging". The following are located in the valley and have limited access. Curry Village This large cluster of rustic cabins is scattered throughout hilly terrain. There are some units with bathrooms and some without. The two cabins with bathrooms and a ramp are located just off the parking lot (2A and 2B). The bathrooms have no access features and the door clearance is 29". Other ground level units without bathrooms (264-270) may work for some people, but the path of travel to them and the restrooms can be difficult. Housekeeping Tents Located in the valley, these canvas tents are situated on concrete pads and offer some accessibility, but have no heating or cooling. They provide cots and mattresses but you have to provide the bedding. Accessible restrooms are located in Section H.
