Firelight, mountain views, local flavors, and meaningful connections.

This past weekend, we hosted a gathering at our River Park venue that blended the beauty of Yosemite with a relaxed and elevated atmosphere. From artisan charcuterie and s’mores, to conversations around the fire, it was a reminder that some of the best ideas happen when people step away from the day to day.

Interested in hosting your next corporate retreat, team event, or private gathering at Yosemite View Lodge? We’d love to help bring it to life.

Yosemite, less traveled. If you’re visiting during peak season, consider exploring a quieter side of the park, like Hetch Hetchy. The Valley only covers a small portion of the park, which means there’s many trails and waterfalls most don’t see! Have you been to ?

📍Save this for your Yosemite trip… Glacier Point gives you one of the most iconic views in Yosemite with Half Dome and sweeping views over Yosemite Valley from 3,214 feet above.

Fun fact 👇
In 1903, Theodore Roosevelt visited Glacier Point with John Muir during a Yosemite wilderness trip that helped shape the future of America’s national parks.

Bringing your dog to Yosemite? We’d love to welcome them too 🐾

At Yosemite Resorts, we know adventures are better with your furry best friend by your side. From riverside walks to scenic drives and pet friendly outdoor spaces nearby, there’s plenty to explore together.

To help keep things comfortable for all guests, we do ask a few simple things:
• Dogs should not be left unattended in rooms
• Please keep pets leashed while on property
• Be sure to clean up after your pup
• If your dog is in the room, place a Do Not Disturb sign on your door for everyone’s safety

If your dog experiences separation anxiety or tends to be vocal, we encourage bringing them along for the day’s adventures instead of leaving them behind.

There is a $25 per pet, per night fee. Please let our reservations team know ahead of time at [email protected], and give the front desk a quick call after booking so we can prepare for your furry guest accordingly.

Check out our blog for some pet friendly tips before you arrive 🐶

🥾 Difficulty: Moderate to strenuous
📏 Distance: ~3 miles round trip to Vernal Fall Footbridge + top of Vernal Fall
