Yosemite of Yesteryear – Early Hotels Revisited

Big Trees Lodge (Wawona)

Hotels and other buildings in Yosemite have come and gone during the first 100 years. I have published a number of posts on the subject. In this post offer links to those posts so they may be easily revisited.


The Yosemite of Yesteryear – Part 4 – Glacier Point Hotel & More

Originally, Yosemite was visited by arriving on horseback or (later) by stagecoach. This series of posts reveals details of the early buildings in and around the valley; where they were, who ran them, what was around them. In this post I’ll discuss the Mirror Lake House, the old Glacier Point Hotel, the Lodge at the Falls, and the Ahwahnee.


Getting Excited About My Next Trip To Yosemite…

Next weekend I’m going to visit my dad with my brother and help him with some things around the house, but since that’s quite a jaunt for me (he’s in Santa Cruz, CA and I’m in Bullhead City, AZ) I thought I’d break it up with a layover at Yosemite. I’ve been trying to get out there since we moved here last November, but alas, I couldn’t make it happen.
