With its southern entrance just minutes from the lodge, Yosemite National Park is bound to be a part of most any trip to Tenaya. Guests can lock in the best value and make the most of their getaway with the Yosemite Park Pass Package, which includes an overnight stay and a park pass. While Valley mainstays like El Capitan and Half Dome are majestic must-sees, those seeking a road less traveled will fall in love with Chilnualna Falls’ stunning vistas, the peaceful Wawona Meadow Loop and the Nelder Grove Shadow of the Giants Trail, which is located 10 miles from Tenaya Lodge. Back on resort turf, travelers can continue their natural connection with a number of outdoor activities, including archery, mountain biking, ice skating and daytime and nighttime guided nature and snowshoe hikes. If the wild continues to call, Tenaya’s signature 101 Things to Do guide offers dozens of options and excursions to fill a spare day or a whole week.

As fall begins to fade into the holiday season, Tenaya invites guests to ditch the dishes and celebrate Thanksgiving, High Sierra-style. The lodge’s popular outdoor ice rink will open at 5 p.m. on Nov. 25, just in time to take a pre-turkey spin. After chilling out on the ice, skaters can warm back up with complimentary “chef’s creation” hot cocoa in the lobby until 8 p.m. The next day, visitors can gobble gratefully at the Grand Ballroom Thanksgiving Buffet, the Sierra Restaurant Thanksgiving Dinner or the Embers Upscale Dining Thanksgiving Dinner. Reservations are required and can be booked by calling 877-247-9241. Finally, Thanksgiving weekend brings the return of Tenaya’s beloved Gingerbread House Workshop and Competition on Nov. 27 and 28 and its Annual Tree Lighting, setting a towering 35-foot tree aglow on Nov. 28.
