Location:
Tenaya Lodge is located in the southern heart of the Sierra Nevada mountain range, two miles from the south entrance to Yosemite National Park along Highway 41. Tenaya Lodge is 48 miles from Fresno, 3.5 hours from the San Francisco Bay Area, and 4.5 hours from the Greater Los Angeles area.
Description:
Tenaya Lodge is an award-winning mountain resort located on 75 acres bordering the Sierra National Forest. The Lodge is nestled at an elevation of 5,288 feet, offering a spectacular view of the surrounding Sierra from any viewpoint.
Tenaya Lodge at Yosemite owes its name to legendary Chief Tenaya of the Southern Sierra Miwok or "Ahwahneechee" people ("Yosemite" is derived from the Ahwahneechee word for grizzly bear). Tenaya was raised among his mother's people, the Mono Lake Paiutes, in the early 19th century; his father was descended from Ahwahneechee chiefs who were among the first humans to live in the Yosemite Valley.
