Yosemite Valley and Yosemite West are two separate places inside Yosemite National Park, about two miles apart on the Wawona Road, and are often confused with one another; Wawona is a third, distinct community near the park’s south entrance. Agua Fria, Bagby, Ben Hur, Briceburg and Bridgeport are gold-rush camps with no remaining population count of their own — most exist today only as place names on a map or a handful of foundations.<\/p>\n
