Yosemite National Park is famous for its stunning scenery, and visitors flock there 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 with twelve days of special events (Dec. 16th to Dec. 27th 2009). 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 guided snowshoe walks, "Decorate Your Stocking", and the wackier "decorate your Christmas pink flamingo" - certainly a souvenir to remember.

Two and three-night packages feature:

  • 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
  • guided hike, showshoe walk, or sightseeing tour
  • sunset hayride
  • holiday welcome basket
