Yosemite, Elevated

Stay at the Tenaya Lodge in Yosemite

Let’s all agree on one thing: A trip to Yosemite is always a good idea. But here’s how to make it a great idea: Stay at the newly renovated lodge rooms at Tenaya Lodge at Yosemite! Surrounded by California’s most famous national park and the Sierra National Forest, the setting doesn’t get any better. Neither do the accommodations. Tenaya Lodge is a beautiful basecamp, with gorgeous guestrooms, dining options from casual to upscale, outdoor activities on-site, and a world-class spa. After spending the day hiking to Nevada Falls, picnicking along the Merced River, or mountain biking in the Sierra National Forest, relax with a cocktail and a poolside movie.

After dinner, roast s’mores under the stars. Guided hikes leave right from the lodge. So do horseback rides on mountain trails with creek crossings and solitude. Get your sun salutations with a refreshing outdoor yoga session, and add some nurture to your nature at Tenaya Lodge’s Ascent Spa, offering massages, body wraps, facials, and other restorative treatments. Four-diamond rooms with deluxe baths, down beds, and flat-screen TVs make an ideal way to end the day. Ready to elevate your Yosemite experience? Tenaya Lodge is always a great idea!

BONUS YOSEMITE PARK PASS: Book a renovated premium room at Tenaya Lodge for a stay now through December 15, and get a free Yosemite park pass. (Offer ends June 1!) Check online for details and use Promo Code PREMIUM.
