Food Scene
Come for the pie, stay for the people. The Jones Store is a quaint country store along the second half of the Byway known just as much for the stellar hamburgers and delicious pie as it is for the hospitality of the owners. The store has a history going back nearly a century, and families that have been frequenting the business for generations. Enjoy a cold beverage and hot lunch as you talk to people who knew the area way back when.

World Famous Establishment Nestled in the Sierra Nevada Foothills
At an elevation just above 2,600 feet, the town of North Fork, a community of approximately 3,600 area residents, sits six miles from Bass Lake and 40 minutes from the southern entrance to Yosemite National Park. It is the gateway to the historic Sierra Vista Scenic Byway, a road that offers stunning panoramic views of the central Sierra Nevada Mountains. Nestled in a small valley at 2,600 feet, North Fork is located at the exact center of California, a point finally settled with the help of modern technology a decade ago.
North Fork -- named for its position on Willow Creek -- was the original territory of Mono Indians, hunter-gatherers who traded with other American Indians in Central California. North Fork riches stem from its mining history during the gold rush, then the bustling lumber industry now is a best kept secret for great outdoor vacations.

Hikes
The Lewis Creek Trail is part of the National Recreation Trail System and is 3.7 miles long. The trail is located near State Highway 41, four miles north of Oakhurst. Depending on snow levels most of the hiking on the Lewis Creek Trail happens during the spring to the fall.
Features along the trail include Red Rock Falls, Corlieu Falls, and an old lumber flume route. There is good fishing below Corlieu Falls.
The majority of the trail follows along the old Madera-Sugar Pine Lumber Company flume. This flume extended from the Sugar Pine Lumber Mill in the north and traveled southwest to Madera. The Madera-Sugar Pine Lumber Company flume operated from 1900 to 1931 with over 1 billion board feet of lumber passing down the flume.

LEWIS CREEK TRAIL
The Lewis Creek Trail is part of the National Recreation Trail System and is 3.7 miles long. The trail is located near State Highway 41, four miles north of Oakhurst. Depending on snow levels most of the hiking on the Lewis Creek Trail happens during the spring to the fall.
Features along the trail include Red Rock Falls, Corlieu Falls, and an old lumber flume route. There is good fishing below Corlieu Falls.
The majority of the trail follows along the old Madera-Sugar Pine Lumber Company flume. This flume extended from the Sugar Pine Lumber Mill in the north and traveled southwest to Madera. The Madera-Sugar Pine Lumber Company flume operated from 1900 to 1931 with over 1 billion board feet of lumber passing down the flume.

Yosemite Half Marathon
The first 5 miles are a peaceful run through the trees followed by a fast 5-mile downhill. Finish it off strong with 3 beautiful miles around Bass Lake. In May the lake is full and the waterfalls are pumping so there is truly no better time to visit.
The Yosemite Half Marathon sells out quickly every year! Yosemite is calling. See you there!
