Yosemite Hotel
Yosemite Valley is a 2 hour drive from Mammoth Lakes and The Westin Monache Resort. The glacier-carved, u-shaped valley draws some of the tallest waterfalls in the world. Also discover the massive monoliths Half Dome, El Capitan and Sentinel Rock, among many impressive geologic features of Yosemite Valley.
Yosemite National Park, one of the first wilderness parks in the United States, is best known for its waterfalls. But within its nearly 1,200 square miles, you can find deep valleys, grand meadows, ancient giant sequoias, a vast wilderness area, and much more. Mono County is the eastern gateway to Yosemite National park, via highway 120, Tioga Pass, just outside of the town of Lee Vining, CA.
From The Westin in Mammoth the east gateway to Yosemite National Park is a 45 minute drive. Many travelers choose this approach to Yosemite because of the impressive views of the Eastern Sierra's escarpment, or because they are coming from or traveling to Death Valley, the Grand Canyon or Nevada. However, please note that Yosemite's east entrance is open dependably only from June through October, due to heavy winter snows. Travelers are advised to call 209-372-0200 (press 1 then 1) for Yosemite road conditions.
