Welcome to Yosemite National Park! The Arch Rock entrance is a fee station located on El Portal Road, the continuation of Highway 140 inside the park.

This entrance is named for a natural feature located near the fee booth: two very large boulders, situated on either side of the inbound road, form an archway for vehicles to pass through.

Visitors can pay the park entrance fee, show their parks pass, or purchase a pass as they enter the park. Park brochures may be available. Entrance stations at Yosemite do not accept cash. Learn more about entrance fees and passes.
