Location
From the South Entrance Station, continue following the road you are on for 5 miles, and it will lead you to the Visitor Center. Just before the parking areas, the road curves to the left. You can park your vehicle in one of four parking areas and find your way to the Visitor Center, in the center of the open plaza where restroom buildings, the park store, and the bicycle rental are also located. From there, walk around the right-hand side of the Visitor Center building and take one of the paved footpaths leading to Mather Point. After walking a few minutes, you will come to an intersection of 4 paths, with a large concrete circle in the center. The performance will take place here.
