Watch carefully for the ECCO (Episcopal Conference Center, Oakhurst) sign--or the St. Raphael's Church sign. Turn left and follow signs 1 mile back to conference center. Note: the ECCO sign is difficult to see going southbound from Yosemite. If you pass the Sierra Sky Ranch sign, you've gone too far south. Turn around and watch for the ECCO sign (more visible going northbound).
