Ahwahnee, California

Ahwahnee, California Hotels, Things to do, and Vacation Information.

Yosemite National Park rates atop Travel Guides’ things-to-do for Ahwahnee, California. There’s 1,170 square miles of mountain ranges for climbing, lakes for watersports, and countless hiking and backpacking along scenic trails with wildlife, waterfalls, and jagged cliffs.  It’s important to note the bear warnings on the park’s website.  Take simple precautions related to storing food and garbage to avoid attracting bears too close for comfort.  Convenient shuttle service runs into the park, and Yosemite offers a wide variety of lodging choices right inside the park!

We were intrigued by the traditional and luxurious Ahwahnee Hotel, a designated National Historic Landmark.  The Ahwahnee showcases an impressive array of Native American art from local Meewok and Mono Tribes.  Don’t miss the Grand Lodge for a quiet evening by the fireplace, and the dining area is a must!  Be aware that coat and tie are required for dinner.  It’s the perfect place for romantic couples, so be sure to check their Romance Package for an elegant two night stay.

For more appropriate adventures with families, kids and pets, try Curry Village for your Ahwahnee California vacation. Also known as Camp Curry, it’s the largest lodging facility at Yosemite, with a huge outdoor swimming pool.
