Fish Camp, CA – March
2018 / Newsmaker Alert / Springtime
has never been more larger-than-life at Tenaya
Lodge at Yosemite where the season promises the long-awaited re-opening
of the Mariposa
Grove of Giant Sequoias, fun new open-air adventure tours by jeep,
luxury buses and motorcycles and the opportunity to savor the flavors of
the High Sierra at a special craft beer event. What’s more, guests can
take advantage of a family-friendly spring package, plus seasonal spa treatments
and the return of popular warm weather activities like mountain biking,
swimming and guided hikes to create the perfect getaway.
Here
are four great reasons to take a spring break at Tenaya Lodge in 2018:
Be
the First to Rediscover the Giant Sequoias at Mariposa Grove
Just
a short 10-minute drive from Tenaya Lodge, the popular Mariposa Grove of
Giant Sequoias is slated to reopen to the public June 15 after an extensive
four-year restoration. Guests will once again be able to walk among the
splendor of the big trees, some of which are thousands of years old. Intended
to restore the grove’s ecology and increase its resilience, the restoration
project also has resulted in an enhanced visitor experience that includes
a new parking area and information station, new hiking trails, an accessible
boardwalk and modernized restrooms. In celebration of the grove’s reopening,
Tenaya Lodge is offering a Big
Trees Package that includes overnight accommodations and a giant sequoia
sapling for guests to take home and plant as a reminder of their vacation.
The package also includes other discounted keepsake souvenirs such as Living
Among Giants, a book written and illustrated by local watercolor artist
and naturalist Shirley Spencer.

Yosemite
Luxury Bus + High Sierra Jeep + Eagle Rider Tours
Just

giving guests one-of-a-kind access to the area’s breathtaking waterfalls,
vibrant wildflowers and awe-inspiring views with a trio of new open-air
tour options.
For
those who want to go luxe, Tenaya’s Mercedes-Benz
Open-Air Tour Bus offers the ideal, stress-free option for exploring
Yosemite Valley. The only of its kind in Yosemite National Park, the 19-person
buses feature panoramic retractable roofs for unique access to the fresh
mountain air and stunning views. Offered seven days a week, guests depart
from the resort with a local guide and spend the day touring Yosemite Valley
with stops at scenic landmarks such as Wawona, Tunnel View, Bridalveil
Falls, El Capitan Meadow and Upper and Lower Yosemite Falls. Tours can

March 16 at $145 for adults, $135 for active military or seniors and $80

Adventure-seekers
in the mood to kick up some dust can opt for the resort’s new Sierra Jeep
Tours. Thanks to a recent partnership with Tenaya Lodge, Sierra Jeep Tours
provide resort guests with a thrilling exploration of the great outdoors.
The tours wind up secluded forest service roads to reach the historic Devil’s
Peak fire lookout with expansive views of Sierra National Forest. Jeep
tours start at $249 and can be booked online or through the resort concierge.
And,
just to satisfy all tastes and desires, coming soon to the property are
EagleRider Motorcycle and Slingshot adventures. Visitors can ride the beauty
of the Yosemite-High Sierra Region and let the fresh air envelope them
from head to toe. EagleRider Rentals, exclusively from Tenaya Lodge, will
include Harley Davidson/Indian motorcycles, as well as sleek and sporty
three-wheel Slingshots which don’t require a motorcycle license to enjoy.
Discover
New Flavors During Tenaya’s Inaugural Craft Beer Weekend
While
the resort offers local craft beer all year round, including the signature
Tenaya Red IPA by South Gate Brewing Company, this spring Tenaya is pulling
out all the stops and throwing its inaugural “High Sierra Hops” craft beer
event. Beer aficionados can indulge their taste buds in some of the best
craft beer the High Sierra has to offer at the weekend event, June 1-3,
2018. A joint venture between Tenaya Lodge and South
Gate Brewing Company in Oakhurst, Calif., festivities will include
an exclusive beer pairing dinner, live entertainment, games, delicious
eats, souvenir keepsakes and, of course, brews. Visitors can come for the
day or purchase a weekend package that includes accommodations and VIP
to access to the beer dinner.
