Neighborhoods
Mariposa is a quaint old gold-rush town, one mile from end-to-end. There are a lot of artists and crafters in the area and some of their items are available in local stores.
There are also several wineries, a brew pub, a store selling olive oil and vinegar they make, a couple of antique stores, and other great places to shop for gifts or just browse for local treasures. Plus, there are some wonderful restaurants!

Kaupunkia koskevat ohjeet
Liikkuminen
Don't drive over 60 MPH on to avoid speeding tickets.
California Highway Patrol particularly loves to give tickets on CA-140.
Liikkuminen
YARTS buses are available to Yosemite
Rather than driving to Yosemite National Park, consider taking the Yosemite Area Regional Transportation System (YARTS) bus. It's less stressful than driving, and there are shuttles in the park that you can take to get around. Visit yarts.com for info.
Liikkuminen
Pull over to let cars pass
California requires that if you are driving under the speed limit (55 MPH on highways) and have 5+ cars behind you, you must pull over and let the cars pass you. This is for safety, especially on winding rural roads.
Mitä kannattaa pakata mukaan
When hiking, bring lots of water!
It is easy, even in winter, to get dehydrated when hiking. Please plan to take sufficient water with you on hikes. If you plan to hike a full day, a gallon of water per person is recommended. More, if it's particularly hot.
Liikkuminen
Bring tire chains in winter
It can snow in the Mariposa area and in Yosemite Valley in winter. With heavier snows, chains will be required on CA-140 and in the park.
Also, the driveway at Fremont's Corner is fairly steep, so 4WD, AWD, or chains are recommended if snow is expected.
Chains can be purchased and rented, while available, in Mariposa.
