At 5,325 elevation Strawberry is located just minutes from the ever-so-popular Pinecrest Lake and Dodge Ridge Ski Resort. Strawberry is both a summer and winter vacation community situated at the transition zone between the oak forest of the California foothills and the mixed pine and fir forest of the Sierra Nevada. Summers are cool with the higher elevation during the day and the nights are generally mild; making Strawberry a pleasant escape from the long, hot summers of the California Central Valley. Winters can be very cold with snow occurring several times during the season. Winter sports venues are located nearby at Leland High Sierra Snowplay near Strawberry (snow tubing), Long Barn Lodge & Ice Skating Rink, and Dodge Ridge Ski Area near Pinecrest are all along Highway 108, plus the Badger Pass Ski Area in nearby Yosemite Park.
