AMTRAK TRAIN STATIONS

Yosemite National Park is one of United States’ first national parks.  It received that designation in 1890 with the prodding of naturalist John Muir.  Today over 3.5 million people visit the 1200 acres of the park annually.

Fortunately, Yosemite National Park has Amtrak service close by on the San Joaquin service.  From Merced, CA, you have automobile and bus alternatives to the park.  There are camping, lodging, and restaurant facilities in Yosemite.  Please see Yosemite National Park:  Five Tips to Effectively Travel to the Yosemite by Amtrak and Bus on www.ideamarketers.com for more detailed information.
