1. Zebra Ranch - 1880's Yosemite Stage Route Marker

Inscription. For travelers in the 1880's one stage route to Yosemite left the Maxe Hotel in Madera, traveled east to the Adobe Ranch Stage Stop, then northerly into the foothills to Bates Station. From there the route ran north and cut northwest to this spot which was George Green's Ranch. This was also known as the Zebra Ranch after the mine located nearby. The route continued over the north end of Revis Mountain to the Peach Orchard, another stop just outside of Yosemite Lakes Park. The route continued to Coarsegold for a stop at Krone's Store and then to Fresno Flats (now Oakhurst), Wawona, and into Yosemite Valley.
