Tuolumne Meadows Ranger Stations and Comfort Stations, Historic ranger station and comfort station complex in Tuolumne County, United States

Tuolumne Meadows Ranger Stations and Comfort Stations is a complex of buildings with wood frames, peeled logs, and stone walls situated in a conifer forest at high elevation. The compound includes ranger offices, information centers, and restroom facilities spread across the campground area.

The initial ranger station was built by the National Park Service in 1924, followed by comfort stations in 1934 and an additional building in 1936. These structures emerged during the early phase of National Park management when visitor infrastructure was being established.

The district's name comes from Tuolumne Meadows, the high meadow it stands in. The 1934 CCC mess hall now serves as the Tuolumne Meadows Visitor Center, so a building put up for park crews is today where visitors get their information. The ranger station also doubled as the Tioga Road entrance station.

The compound serves as a good starting point to obtain information about the region and access basic facilities needed for a visit to Tuolumne Meadows. The buildings are easily accessible and spread across the campground, so plan some time to explore the area.

The 1924 ranger station also served as the park entrance station for the Tioga Road. A newer structure with more stonework partly took over its function in 1936. The 1934 CCC mess hall now houses the Tuolumne Meadows Visitor Center.
