Old Big Oak Flat Road

view map

Hiking down the long closed Old Big Oak Flat Road along the North side of Yosemite Valley.

Initially built during the Gold Rush about 1849. It became a wagon road into Yosemite Valley in 1874.
It was abandoned as a road as it became dangerous and after several rock slides.

Today, it is an unmaintained trail with several large rock slides to scramble over.

1/640s f/8.0 at 24.0mm iso200 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

Sounds quite a dangerous pathway, but worth the hike to get such great scenery shots! v
