With a record snowpack, you can expect raging waterfalls this spring! SPRING DEAL: Stay at Tenaya Lodge, just two miles from Yosemite’s southern entrance, and receive a Free Yosemite Park Pass + Breakfast.

Can Do Corlieu!

Hike a short distance to 80-foot Corlieu Falls followed by Red Rock Falls 1.5 miles later. You’ll follow the general path of the old flume rail trail enroute. The trailhead is located just 5 miles from Tenaya Lodge, and has fewer people than in the valley. Book your stay at Tenaya Lodge and get a complimentary park pass into Yosemite!

Five-Tier Favorite

Just 15 minutes from Tenaya Lodge, and accessed via a less-traveled hiking path, Chilnualna Falls is a series of spectacular cascades that will thunder in spring! One of the largest falls in the area, it’s an 8-mile (round-trip) hike to reach, mostly through a beautiful forest.

Pour on the Charm

It’s the tallest waterfall in North America, and a must-visit this spring. Yosemite Falls drops over 2,400 feet and makes a phenomenal splash in spring! Bonus: Book your stay at Tenaya Lodge and gain free entry into Yosemite National Park to see this absolute beauty.

Introducing the Explorer Cabins!

As if the first-rate accommodations, bus tours into the park, and a new kids adventure course weren’t enough, Tenaya Lodge introduces the all-new Explorer Cabins, an unparalleled Yosemite “cabineering” experience that combines the comforts of a beautiful modern cabin tucked away in a sugar pine mountain forest—and with all the perks of the main lodge, including the Ascent Spa!
