I have a Yosemite trip planned for September and I need some recommendations. Our last night in the park we are going to stay at the Wawona Hotel and leave from there on Sunday taking YARTS back to Fresno Airport. I just found out that YARTS doesn’t have a morning route on the weekends. Does anyone have any experience with this or recommendations on how to get back to the airport? My flight leaves at 12:30p pacific so I think I need to leave Wawona by 8:30a. Thanks in advance.

Other than having a Taxi or Uber come from Fresno, there's not a lot of options. You may want to try calling The Redwoods vacation rentals in Wawona((877) 753-8566) and see if they have any recommendations. They may know of someone in the area who's willing to drive you to Fresno for a fee. The other option is taking the bus to Fresno on Saturday and spending the night there.

Thanks for the reply. I decided to cancel my Wawona reservation and take the bus back to Fresno after we hike the four mile trail to Glacier Point on Saturday. I was hoping to check out the Mariposa Grove giant sequoias and the Wawona hotel, oh well maybe next time. Thanks again for the help.

That's what I'd do – get to Fresno the night before a 12:30 pm flight. I'd be too nervous about relying on hitch hiking to get that far that far, that quickly even with all the HHing tricks I know. If you were a cute, blonde, single female, you could reliably hitch a ride that morning and, if you smiled, likely get dropped curbside at FAT for your flight. If you were a cute, blonde, single female.

You wouldn't be able to get to Mariposa Grove anyway. The Grove is closed to traffic and the shuttles have stopped running from Wawona They're doing major renovations to the roads and trails up there and it will be closed for two years.
