There are plenty of ways to visit one of the most iconic National Parks in the world, and we’ve curated a list to make it easy for all those staying with us at Tenaya at Yosemite.

You no longer need a reservation to drive into Yosemite for the remainder of 2024. Stay updated on plans for 2025 peak-hour reservations on the National Park Service website.

A great way to see the Park is on one of our Yosemite 360° Tours. Imagine a day filled with awe-inspiring sights, hidden gems, and the captivating stories of Yosemite National Park. That’s the magic you’ll experience with Yosemite 360° Tours!

Our expert guides, passionate storytellers, and Yosemite enthusiasts will lead you on an unforgettable adventure.

Tenaya Shuttles

Our Tenaya Shuttle Service has concluded for the year. Please check back for 2025 information!

Available until October 31, 2024, our shuttles are a convenient way to access Yosemite. The Tenaya Shuttles you directly to the heart of Yosemite National Park, where you can access iconic hikes such as Yosemite Falls, Mirror Lake, and the Mist Trail and spend the day exploring the park on your own.

Tenaya Shuttles will make their return trip to Tenaya at Yosemite at 3:00 pm PDT from Lot 7 (Yosemite Valley Lodge). Be sure to catch this ride to ensure a smooth return after your day of adventure.
