Merced
(Tour starting point)
This San Joaquin Valley city is a great place to begin your tour of the Southern High Sierra.
A quick visit to Merced's California Welcome Center ( www.yosemite-gateway.org/Getting-Here/ welcome _ center .php ), can get you ready for your trip into the Southern Sierra. Here you will find regional maps and destination brochures, along with personal advice about everything from camping and hotels to fishing and hiking. While in Merced, take a little time to visit the Merced Agricultural Museum- after all, the San Joaquin Valley is known worldwide for its farming.
