For our out-of-state guests: We recommend flying into any of the major Northern California airports (**SFO, OAK, SJC, SAC**) and renting a car. You may also fly into Mammoth Yosemite Airport (**MMH**), Merced Regional Airport (**MCE**), or Fresno-Yosemite International Airport (**FAT**), but these smaller airports have fewer flights.
Driving warning: There is a stretch of **Hwy 120 into Groveland** called **Priest Grade**, which has several switchbacks and limited nighttime visibility. While both **New Priest Grade and Old Priest Grade** are relatively short, they can be dangerous for unfamiliar drivers. Please keep this in mind for travel and lodging plans.
Our ceremony begins on **April 25, 2026, at 3:30 PM** at the **Cedar View Ceremony Site**. The reception starts at **4:00 PM** at the Event Center near the Rush Creek Tavern and ends at **10:00 PM**. We will also host a **farewell breakfast** at the Tavern on **April 26, 2026, from 8:30 AM - 10:30 AM**.
We ask that your party only brings guests included on your invitation. If you have any questions, please contact Elena or Graeson.
