Weather Forecast Links for California Adventures
These are the links we use to check weather, fire and smoke conditions for our trips, and for popular destinations in the area. Forecasts are pinpointed to specific areas relevant to our trips. Rather than having a forecast for “Yosemite”, we have a forecast for Yosemite Valley, Tuolumne Meadows, Wawona, etc.
Elevations for mountain trailheads are the elevations cited in the point forecast, not necessarily the actual elevation for the trailhead.
