Outdoor activities in the area include:
Hiking & trail exploration Fishing & boating Snow activities (seasonal) Water sports at Bass Lake (30 minutes away) Horseback riding & guided tours Rock climbing & scenic drives
The biggest draw, of course, is Yosemite National Park—known worldwide for its valleys, waterfalls, sequoias, wildlife, and world-class adventure. Yosemite can be accessed via:
South Gate (Fish Camp) – approx. 50 minutes Yosemite Valley Entrance (El Portal) – approx. 1 hour Travel times may increase during weekends and holidays.
Wildlife is abundant and beautiful in this region. You may spot deer, wild turkeys, squirrels, hawks, and rabbits. Less frequent but native to the area are coyotes, bears, mountain lions, raccoons, skunks, and other wild species. Poison oak and poison ivy are also part of the natural landscape. The property is not fully fenced and sits in a serene, secluded location.
California’s Sierra Nevada region can experience seasonal wildfires (June–November). This is a natural occurrence essential to the local ecosystem.
