Nestled in the heart of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, Oakhurst, California, leaves a lasting, unforgettable impression. While the small mountain town is most prominently known for being one of the gateways to Yosemite National Park, there are countless other incredible things to do in Oakhurst, California, as well. Located next to scenic Bass Lake and within an easy (and jaw-droppingly gorgeous) drive from Mariposa Grove and numerous epic hiking trails of all difficulty levels, Mother Nature is undoubtedly the most prominent reason for a visit but it shouldn’t be even close to the only one.
