Spring for Yosemite's Waterfalls!

Escape to Yosemite's Tenaya Lodge for Spring Waterfalls

03.21.2019

It’s a waterfall time to be in Yosemite! Spring means raging waterfalls without the crowds. Stay at Tenaya Lodge, just two miles from Yosemite’s southern entrance, and experience these waterfall adventures in Yosemite. With a record snowpack, you can expect raging waterfalls this spring! SPRING DEAL: Stay at Tenaya Lodge, just two miles from Yosemite’s southern entrance, and receive a Free Yosemite Park Pass + Breakfast.

Can Do Corlieu!

Hike a short distance to 80-foot Corlieu Falls followed by Red Rock Falls 1.5 miles later. You’ll follow the general path of the old flume rail trail enroute. The trailhead is located just 5 miles from Tenaya Lodge, and has fewer people than in the valley. Book your stay at Tenaya Lodge and get a complimentary park pass into Yosemite!

Five-Tier Favorite

Just 15 minutes from Tenaya Lodge, and accessed via a less-traveled hiking path, Chilnualna Falls is a series of spectacular cascades that will thunder in spring! One of the largest falls in the area, it’s an 8-mile (round-trip) hike to reach, mostly through a beautiful forest.

Pour on the Charm

It’s the tallest waterfall in North America, and a must-visit this spring. Yosemite Falls drops over 2,400 feet and makes a phenomenal splash in spring! Bonus: Book your stay at Tenaya Lodge and gain free entry into Yosemite National Park to see this absolute beauty.

Introducing the Explorer Cabins!

As if the first-rate accommodations, bus tours into the park, and a new kids adventure course weren’t enough, Tenaya Lodge introduces the all-new Explorer Cabins, an unparalleled Yosemite “cabineering” experience that combines the comforts of a beautiful modern cabin tucked away in a sugar pine mountain forest—and with all the perks of the main lodge, including the Ascent Spa!
