Fodor's Expert Review Kohm Yah-mah-nee Visitor Center
A contemporary LEED-certified structure at the southwest entrance, this year-round resource—the name means “Snow Mountain” in the indigenous Mountain Maidu language—is a good place to ask questions about safety and logistics, pick up maps, learn about kids' activities and educational programs, view an engaging film, and check out the interactive exhibits. The bookstore is excellent, and there’s a casual café.
