From Fresno, take Freeway 41 north. Exit at
Friant Road and turn right at the bottom of the off-ramp. Take Friant Road to
the town of Friant. You will see Friant Dam ahead of you. Follow Friant Road
uphill, past the dam. At this point, Friant Road bends to the right and changes
its name to Millerton Road. Stay on Millerton Road for 5 or 6 miles until you
come to a stop sign at Auberry Road.
At Auberry Road you will see a gas station on
your left. Using the gas station as your benchmark, note your mileage and
turn left. Go slightly over 3 miles on Auberry Road. You will see some table
mountain formations ahead. When you reach the 3 mile mark, slow down and prepare
to stop.
The entrance to the preserve is on the left,
where you will see a large corral and a gate. Drive in at the gate and park in the parking
lot.
