Yosemite National Park Attractions and Things To Do

Spacious and comfortable rooms and suites make the Yosemite Westgate Lodge your mountain retreat and a perfect setting for family reunions, corporate events, or even a romantic gateway.

Yosemite National Park embraces a stunning vastness of scenic wildlands in the Sierra Nevada that stretches along California's eastern edges. The park covers an incredible 1,170 square miles of breathtaking natural splendor. Ranging from 2,000 feet to more than 13,000 feet above sea level, the park encompasses vast wilderness, mountains, lakes, waterfalls, and groves of giant sequoias that are unparalleled to other national parks. Wildlife abounds from the many deer that frequent our property grounds, hence the name of our town, Buck Meadows, to the mountain lions, black bears, bobcats, and many other Sierra animals. Every season brings its own unique picturesque moments, from blooming wildflowers during the spring and summer to the colors of fall and snow in the winter. It is hard to believe that this serene oasis is just hours from bustling metropolitan cities like San Francisco and Los Angeles.
