Pickup Location
Pickup locations must be within a 10-mile radius of Fresno Yosemite International Airport (FAT) when traveling up the hill. Pickup locations may very when traveling down the hill but are usually at VVR and Florence Lake Resort. We’ll confirm your exact pickup spot after your booking is confirmed.
Unlike the eastern Sierra, accessing trails and trailheads from the west involves long stretches of narrow winding mountain roads with little to no through traffic, therefor the surrounding communities, if any, are less familiar with and likely won’t recognize back-packers and Hikers in need of a ride.
BE ADVISED
Vermilion Valley Resort sits at 7,700 feet elevation. Common symptoms of altitude sickness include headache, nausea, fatigue, and dizziness. We recommend staying well-hydrated, avoiding alcohol, and allowing time to acclimate before strenuous activity. If you experience severe symptoms, descend to a lower elevation immediately and seek medical attention.
BE ADVISED
The 3-hour travel time to VVR includes winding mountain roads through Kaiser Pass. If you’re prone to motion sickness, we recommend taking medication before departure, sitting in the front if possible, and keeping your eyes on the horizon. Let your Travel Assistant know if you need to stop.
