Fish Camp, CA – May
2017 / Newsmaker Alert / The
best way to experience Yosemite this summer is via Tenaya
Lodge at Yosemite. Not only do guests enjoy a resort-like basecamp
with endless options for family adventure, but also have easy access via
Highway 41, which is open year-round to Yosemite and includes must-see
iconic points of interest along the way including Tunnel View, one of the
most photographed views of Yosemite Valley. This AAA Four-Diamond resort
is further enticing visitors with the return of the Unlimited Summer Fun
Pass, as well as two popular summer traditions— the Summerdale Barbecue
and outdoor mountain yoga.
“Tenaya’s
Highway 41 is open and the resort is ready to welcome summer visitors,”
said Kathrin Poetter, director of sales and marketing. “Tenaya Lodge is
perfectly situated within a two-mile drive to Yosemite National Park’s
southern entrance, as well as area attractions such as the Yosemite Mountain
Sugar Pine Railroad, Idle Hour Winery and Bass Lake. Plus, after a day
of adventure, guests return to a “roughing it, minus the roughing it” experience
with newly renovated guest rooms, relaxing pools, an indulgent spa and
array of dining and activity options right on property.”
