Only 4 hour drive from Alameda. Look out for weather driving restrictions in the winter and COVID restrictions for entry to the park. It's generally difficult to find camping and accommodations around the park in the peak season so planning ahead is best. You can also do a day trip if you leave early enough to find parking in the Valley.
