Yosemite National Park

Its incredible, rugged scenery attracts visitors from around the world.

Yosemite National Park is just 36 miles from Highland House. The Inn lies between both major entrances: the Main Gate leading directly to Yosemite Valley, and the South Gate, the entrance nearest the magnificent Redwood groves, making Highland House Inn a perfect location from which to explore the park.

You’ll want more than one day to truly appreciate the splendors of Yosemite. Use Highland House as your base to explore its majestic peaks and valleys, forests and meadows.

The Inn is located between both major entrances to the park making it an ideal spot to stay overnight between day trips.

The Park is open year around, and each season brings its own special wonders.
