The Yosemite Valley Lodge is located in the very heart of Yosemite National Park, right in front of Yosemite Falls offering outstanding views. The lodge is fairly basic but is a fantastic place to base yourself during your stay and from here you can head out on many hiking trails, cycling, rafting or take a ranger led bus or walking tour. During the summer months, the lodge also welcome its guests to their outdoor amphitheatre, where a naturalist will offer talks about the park, it’s history, nature and wildlife. Each room has a private bathroom, refrigerator, coffee maker, TV, WiFi and either a patio or a balcony; there are also larger family rooms available.
