## Coverage

This status covers the known SR-140 approach serving Mariposa, Midpines, and El Portal to the Caltrans state-route endpoint at the Yosemite park boundary. It answers the California state-highway access question for the Mariposa / El Portal Yosemite west gateway.

It doesn't include National Park Service-managed El Portal Road or other in-park roads beyond the boundary; SR-120 west through Groveland; SR-49 beyond its SR-140 junctions; or local and county roads. SR-120 west and SR-49 are context only and never part of this destination verdict. Verify in-park road status with the National Park Service and excluded state highways separately.

MountainSwitch does not determine whether a route should be driven. Verify with Caltrans before traveling.
