Yosemite National Park is a must-see destination nearby! And of course, our favorite place! It's just a quick 5-minute drive from Rush Creek Lodge to the park entrance. Please be aware that Yosemite requires a day pass permit for entry on weekends. Make sure to obtain one before your visit if you plan to come on a weekend. No day pass is required on weekdays. For more details about the park, including visitation, activities and current conditions, you can visit their official website: https://www.nps.gov/yose/planyourvisit/index.htm
