YARTS carries me far and wide, but somehow I always end up back here. The cover on the station is nice too.

About
El Portal Post Office sits in the small gateway community of El Portal, just outside Yosemite National Park's western entrance. For a lot of travelers it's known less for the mail slots and more for what's parked out front: a stop on the YARTS (Yosemite Area Regional Transportation System) route, with a covered waiting area that keeps riders out of the sun and rain between buses.

For anyone routing through El Portal without a car, that's the whole story — a dependable stop with a bit of shelter while you wait for the next bus into Yosemite Valley.
