Foresta (formerly, McCauley and Opim)[2] is an unincorporated community in Mariposa County, California, within Yosemite National Park.[1] It is located 2.25 miles (3.6 km) northeast of El Portal,[2] at an elevation of 4,314 feet (1,315 m).[1]

The name comes from the Foresta Land Company, founded by A.B. Davis in 1913.[2] Davis built a resort at Foresta but abandoned it.[2]

The Opim post office operated there from 1882 to 1884.[2]
