✈️🏔 Welcome, Fly-Inn Family — Yosemite Gateway Arrival at Pine Mountain Lake (E45) 🌲🛬

Pilots… set your heading for the Sierra Nevada foothills and prepare for a truly beautiful California arrival into Pine Mountain Lake Airport in Groveland, California.

As you descend into the pattern, you’ll be greeted by rolling pine-covered hills 🌲, sparkling mountain lakes 💧, granite outcroppings ⛰️, and the rugged beauty of the Sierra foothills. This area sits just outside Yosemite National Park, making it one of the most exciting fly-in gateways to one of America’s most famous national parks.

The approach into E45 is scenic and rewarding: only 10-11 minutes from the property. Expect elevated terrain and beautiful forest views on final. Monitor CTAF, fly a stabilized approach, and enjoy the moment as you touch down in one of California’s most unique aviation communities.
