Inside the Park
Lodging courtesy Delaware North Companies-
Ahwahnee Road, east of Yosemite Village; 801-559-4884 [new phone]. The Grande Dame. It'll cost you, but you've got to do it, at least once in a lifetime.
-
CA 41, Wawona; 801-559-4884 [new phone]. Second-oldest operating hotel in the west, like some grand old Victorian resort lost in the Adirondacks...
-
Yosemite high country, off Tioga Road; 801-559-4884. Two small cabins with porches and Adirondack chairs looking across the meadow, plus a collection of basic "tent-cabins." Somewhat off the beaten path. Family-style dining by reservation.
-
Tioga Road, Tuolumne Meadows; 888-253-5636. The word “lodge” will seem a bit grandiose unless you’ve been out wandering in the wilderness for a forgotten period of time. Good base camp. Shoot for a tent by the river. Eat elsewhere if you can.
-
888-253-5674. Took hold in the '20’s and '30’s as one of the most popular ways to experience the Yosemite backcountry. Do one or all five. Dinner & breakfast incl. Reservations by mail-in lottery but check for last-minute cancellations.

-
48571 CA 41, Fish Camp; 888-644-9050; 559-683-7720. Within earshot of the narrow-gauge train depot, a series of terraced motel units offering a decent value alternative to the deluxe corporate resort up the road.

El Portal Road (CA 140)
While the other routes afford famous, last-minute, jaw dropping panoramas of Half Dome and Bridalveil, the El Portal Road starts the drama earlier.-
6979 CA 140, Midpines; 866-826-7108, 209-966-6666. Summer camp meets college meets backpacking in Europe meets Yosemite. Great food, new spa.
