Hotels and Parking
If approved, registration will cover lodging accommodations for those traveling from outside of Merced. Parking will be provided at UC Merced for attendees. More details will be disclosed as we approach the conference date. Lodging will be at one of these two hotels:
Gateway To Yosemite
Merced has historically been known as the Gateway To Yosemite. Before leaving Merced, consider visiting the places that the heart of the SJV Valley has to offer!
California's Yosemite National Park is one of the nation's greatest natural beauties. If you'd like to do some inner healing in nature, or just some exploring, you can look into visiting via. the Yosemite Travel Site or through UC Merced's in-person and virtual tours. Note that for the smoothest Yosemite experience, it's best to plan and book your visit well in advance. Be sure to check on mandatory reservations and alerts through the Yosemite Park Services Site.
Bike along Creek Trails
Merced values bicycling as a significant form of transportation and offers miles of off-street bike paths along waterways and creeks. If you enjoy riding your bicycle to relax, you may want to explore the bike paths that our city offers!
