🌲 Fully-guided experience with round-trip transportation and accommodation
🚶‍♂️ Walk beneath ancient Giant Sequoia Trees
🏞️ Witness the grandeur of El Capitan and Half Dome, along with Yosemite Falls and Bridalveil Fall
📸 Capture iconic scenes at Tunnel View and enjoy a comfortable overnight stay

For those who dream of concluding a challenging day of hiking by the warmth of a grand fireplace and prefer the comfort of sheets over a sleeping bag, Yosemite's centrally located hotels offer the perfect retreat. Guests can experience all the sights, hikes, and fresh air without the camping grit, with door-to-door service from San Francisco to the heart of Yosemite Valley, enjoying a narrated drive through the Central Valley and historical California Gold Country, followed by an experiential tour led by a professional guide through lesser-explored areas of the park. Beyond the valley, the journey includes a visit to the awe-inspiring Glacier Point and a hike among the Giant Sequoias, with stops at iconic spots like Tunnel View for pictures and breathtaking views of Half Dome, El Capitan, Bridalveil Fall, and more.
Yosemite View Lodge Hotel is situated in the picturesque Merced River canyon, on the edge of the river just outside the boundary of Yosemite National Park. The lodge features comforts such as a restaurant, bar, swimming pool, a jacuzzi, and private beach access on the Merced River. The river flows cold and heavy in the spring and early summer but is comfortable to swim in during August and September. Room amenities include non-smoking rooms, handicap-accessible rooms, indoor and outdoor pools and spa on site, remote cable TV with CNN and HBO, coffee, and hair dryers.
