Tenaya Lodge at Yosemite 1122 Highway 41 • Fish Camp • California 93623

With its magnificent soaring peaks, backwoods trails and legendary panoramas made famous by photographer Ansel Adams’ indelible images, Yosemite National Park is a cherished natural treasure. It’s also a destination wedding locale like no other, attracting couples who yearn to celebrate enfolded by Mother Nature.

One of the most congenial honeymoon destinations in Yosemite is Tenaya Lodge, the first hotel to bring the luxuries of a classic resort to this awe-inspiring wilderness. Built in 1990, the four-diamond lodge is a resplendent blend of the earthy and the contemporary. The spacious lobby boasts a vaulted ceiling, a huge stone fireplace, and whimsical mountain artifacts (a snowshoe, a miniature cabin). The overall impression is one of refined comfort.

Nature Lovers can feed their souls with spectacular sunsets and dazzling starscapes. The more adventurous might like to golf, bike, ice skate, ride horses or hike to a waterfall. Meanwhile, unwind at ASCENT, Tenaya’s expansive, pampering Spa.

Well-appointed accommodations include spa suites, but we recommend the newlyweds cuddle up in one of the secluded cottage-style rooms with fireplaces for quality alone-time. Think of Tenaya Lodge at Yosemite as “Happiness in the High Sierras!”
