Yosemite National Park is acclaimed for its stunning scenery, so it's no surprise that the Park gets crowded in summer-time; but winter is also a wonderful time to visit.
Evergreen Lodge has a prime location just one mile from Yosemite's western border and the Park entrance to Hetch Hetchy; driving time is 3½ hours from the San Francisco Bay Area.
Christmas Week Festivities:
Evergreen Lodge is celebrating from Monday Dec. 17th to Friday Dec. 28 2007, with twelve days of special events. In addition to the usual fun-- campfires with s’mores, arts & crafts, bingo, holiday movies, board games by the fireside-- add special activities such as "Decorate Your Stocking", Christmas Tree Lighting, cookie-decorating and letters to Santa, and the wackier "decorate your Christmas pink flamingo" - certainly a souvenir to remember.
Three-night packages include:
- Old World Feast on Christmas Day (or 3-course dinner on another night if you're not there on Christmas Day)
- "mountain breakfast" each morning
- “trail lunch” on one afternoon
- additional 3-course dinner
- choice of a guided recreation activity: hike, snowshoe walk or van tour ($25 upgrade)
- sunset hayride
- holiday welcome basket
- evening activities such as campfires, s’mores, movies and bingo
