• Fill up in Beatty, Tonopah or Big Pine. Goldfield only has an electric charging station, and that's it. They are building a station in Goldfield, but it's not open yet. Be sure to fill up your tank in the last town you go through before Goldfield. Depending on where you started started from, the last town will be either Beatty, Nevada, Tonopah, Nevada or Big Pine, California.

• CAUTION when using GPS systems or Google directions! Don't drive to Silver Peak, Nevada, even if your GPS or other navigation system suggests that you do. Google or other GPS send you this way because it is a few miles shorter. But part of it is a dirt road, and there are no gas stations or food. Don't go that way. Stay on Highway 95 and go through Tonopah, Nevada, NOT Silver Peak. You will have food and fuel options in Tonopah. Stay on 95 until you get to Goldfield. If your GPS or other directions send you onto a dirt road, don't go that way. It is possible to get here entirely on paved roads.

That's the end of the important information.

San Francisco, California to Goldfield, Nevada:

Click for map • Many of our customers use this route as it is the shortest from the Bay Area. However, this route requires driving through Yosemite National Park, which has an entrance fee of $35 for the car. That fee is good for 7 days, so be sure to save your receipt and show it at the gate when you go back, and you won't have to pay that again. Also, Yosemite National Park now requires a reservation to enter, if you enter the gate between 6:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. The park's web site states that the reservations will be required from May 20 to September 30, but only for cars entering between 6:00 a.m and 4:00 p.m. For more detailed information on this, please see the park's web site.

This route involves mountain driving with many curves. This route is possible to use only when California Route 120, Tioga Road and Tioga Pass are open. The date they open varies from year to year, but typically they try to get it open before Memorial Day weekend. If part of Route 120 is closed (and it is closed all winter), a longer, alternate route is required. That could be either California Route 108, California Route 4 or California Route 88. All of these involve mountain driving with many curves. They try to keep 88 open all year, but in the winter they may require chains on the tires. If you want to buy fireworks for New Year's Eve, we highly recommend coming here in October, when all roads are still dry and safe and all mountain roads are usually still open.

Take Interstate 580 east, to California 120 east, through Yosemite, to Lee Vining, to U.S. Route 395 south for 4 miles, then continue on California 120 east, to U.S. Route 6 east, to U.S. Route 95 south. This route is 391 miles, and is 9 hours of driving plus time spent at stops along the way, so for most people it is a 10 or 11-hour drive.
