Meet our Welcoming Committee, a cast of characters that among many things have been known to act like animals! They are our ambassadors and guides for all you can see and do in the Southern Yosemite Region. Come meet them, and then join them on a journey, that takes you from the farmlands of the San Joaquin Valley up into the Sierra Nevada Mountains and into Yosemite National Park itself! Click through the slides below to meet each committee member and find out where they, and their trading cards, can be found.
NOTE: If any card location is closed when you visit, you can pick up their card at the Oakhurst Visitor Center instead.
MR. MEAD, the Saber-toothed Cat, can be found at the Fossil Discovery Center of Madera County, located at 19450 Ave. 21 1/2, Chowchilla.
