Enhance Your Stay
Your Ideal Yosemite Itinerary
Here is your backstage pass to Yosemite! We've put together a collection of our guide and guest favorites for you to pick from, so you can explore like a local.
DAY 1: FUN AT THE LODGE
With your scenic drive to Yosemite in the rearview mirror, it's time to settle in at the lodge and let the good times roll! There are fun surprises around every corner for play, relaxation and discovery. There's also nothing quite like cozying up on your cabin's deck amid the trees and just chillin'. Take some time to look through your Recreation Calendar to see what's happening on your arrival day.
Just across the road from our Main Lodge Restaurant and Tavern you can stretch your legs, take in the fresh mountain air and have some fun on our 9-hole Forest Disc Golf course. It's beginner-friendly and easy to navigate, with both a novice and expert level of play to choose from. The entire course takes under an hour to play, lending itself perfectly for a quick and easy game that's perfect after a long drive.
How's the weather? Could be cold, and there could be snow, but our 2,000 square foot heated saltwater swimming pool and hot tub provide ample space for adults and children alike to relax and refresh after the day's journey. If it's just too chilly for you to jump in, then have a property walkabout. There are plenty of local trails and so many delightful surprises throughout our 20-acre wooded property. Check in with our friendly Rec Desk - they'll have all the best ideas for you based on current conditions.
Keep it casual on your first night and roll into our historic Tavern for some good times with fellow travelers and colorful local characters. You'll love our seasonal menu that includes classic mountain lodge favorites alongside some surprising twists on modern dishes. We're also known for our signature beverages, craft beer, and a wine list to please any palate.
As the sun sets, enjoy our nightly tradition of complimentary s’mores by our outdoor fire pits, and watch the night sky begin to reveal a spectacular display of stars, unlike anything you’ll ever see among bright city lights. Check with the Rec Desk to see if we're getting the telescope out!

DAY 4: CARLON FALLS DAY HIKE
You're part of the Evergreen family now! Explore like a local on your last morning with us at Carlon Falls, just a few miles down the road on your way back to Highway 120.
After you’ve grabbed one of your favorite hot breakfast items or your usual coffee order from our General Store, you’ll be ready to squeeze in one last hike.
Once on the trail, you’ll actually be walking right into Yosemite National Park, making this a true hidden treasure that few Yosemite visitors ever see. You can choose to do a short and easy 1-hour walk along the South Fork of the Tuolumne River, or make a day of it and hike all the way up past the series of waterfalls and swimming holes. The trail follows the South Fork of the Tuolumne River, taking you through a variety of terrain, historic remnants, swimming holes, and cascading falls.
If you’re leaving Evergreen Lodge using Highway 120 West, you’ll pass through the charming Old West town of Groveland. You may want to stop in at one of our favorite spots, Mountain Sage Coffee & Nursery, where you can sip on lovingly prepared homemade beverages and home-baked goods in their enchanting gardens. You’ll also love the art gallery featuring seemingly impossible images and stories created by local photographer, naturalist, and all-around great guy, Robb Hirsch, who also leads our photography workshops in Yosemite.
Until next time, happy trails!
