I am going to visit Yosemite this August for 2- 3 days the first time. Made the mistake of booking a hotel in Jamestown, which means I will have to commute to Yosemite everyday . The hotel is not refundable so I have to stick with that.
What would be the best way to go from Jamestown to Yosemite? I heard that there are bad traffic jam in Yosemite. I tried google map, but it wasn't even clear to me where the entrance is.
Also, I am planning on staying late at night in order to look at the milky way with my own eyes (and hopefully taking photos of the starry night). What would be a good place for doing this (I will have to drive back to Jamestown afterwards)? Thanks!
