The Mariposa Grove of Giant Sequoias is awe-inspiring. Leave noise and civilization behind to walk among these stately giants.

Visitors have access to parking, restroom facilities, visitor information, and can board a free shuttle for the two mile ride to the Mariposa Grove Arrival Area. See local postings for shuttle information.

Pop into The Depot, a Yosemite Conservancy bookstore, your best source for information on Yosemite, to pick up any maps, guidebooks, gifts, or apparel before or after visiting the grove or shop online!

The road to the grove, beyond the welcome plaza, is closed to private vehicles when the shuttle is operating. Vehicles displaying a disability placard can drive up the Mariposa Grove Road at any time. There are designated accessible parking spaces at Mariposa Grove Arrival Area and at Grizzly Giant accessible parking area. Parking is limited.
