What to expect on the roads this route covers

This route is built almost entirely around two state highways. Golden Chain Highway, CA-49, is classed primary and reappears five separate times, accounting for close to 10 of this route's 18.45 miles, including the longest single stretch at 3.70 miles. Central Yosemite Highway, CA-140, also classed primary, is used twice for a combined 5.48 miles. Smith Road and C Y A Road are the only stretches that briefly leave either highway.

Tips for this specific route

• Get comfortable with Golden Chain Highway across five separate stretches. CA-49 accounts for close to 10 of this route's 18.45 miles, more than half the total distance.
• Settle into Central Yosemite Highway as the second major road. CA-140 is used twice for a combined 5.48 miles.
• Don't expect much surface-street driving. Smith Road and C Y A Road are the only brief departures from the two highways that make up nearly the entire route.
• Confirm the office's open days before you go. This location runs on a limited Tuesday-and-Thursday-only schedule, closed the rest of the week.
• Expect slightly more left turns than right. Seven of this route's 13 turns are lefts.
