Only 15 miles from the western boundary of Yosemite, is Sonora. Whether you are entering Yosemite or leaving Yosemite, plan to stop in Sonora. An awesome dining scene; lots of trails, a distillery churning out organic seasonal ciders.
Sonora is 133 miles east of San Francisco via I-580 and State 120 East.
NOTEWORTHY:
Then hike Dragoon Gulch Trail. 2.5 mi. Dog friendly. 102 acres. Jog/Run. Enter at Woods Creek PArk and follow the creek thru the shady oak trees, past wild poppies, and up to a view of the town. sonoraca.com
