Travel & Stay
Evergreen Lodge is located 2 miles from Yosemite National Park.
You can fly in to San Francisco Int’l (SFO, 4 hrs), Sacramento Int’l (SMF, 3 hrs), Fresno Yosemite Int’l (FAT, 3 hrs), or Mammoth Yosemite Regional (MMR, 2.5 hrs) Airport. In all cases, we recommend renting a car to drive to Evergreen Lodge, as public transit is minimal and time-consuming.
Reception becomes spotty as you get into Yosemite and near to Evergreen Lodge. We highly recommend that you print out directions or download an offline map to your phone prior to driving to the Lodge.
Given spotty cell reception, we recommend that you turn on wifi calling (iPhone instructions here) and check with your cell phone carrier prior to arriving. Additionally, consider using an alternative app like WhatsApp.
Where to stay
If you are planning to attend our wedding, we encourage you to book lodging at your earliest convenience.
All wedding events will be taking place at Evergreen Lodge, and cabins are blocked for guests to stay on site. Please go to the Evergreen Lodge website and use our wedding code KD2022 for a group discount. If you are planning to stay for more than two nights, we recommend you call the Lodge, and they will extend the discount for another night or two.
While we highly recommend staying on site to be close to the action for the full weekend, there are a few other options in the area, including Evergreen’s sister hotel Rush Creek, a 15’ drive 7 miles from Evergreen. In general, we’ve found that AirBnBs are, at closest, 30’ away starting in downtown Groveland.
Yosemite is a great place for families with children: please feel free to bring yours! However, the wedding events will be ‘adult-only.’ Childcare will be available during wedding events for those who are bringing children; please indicate in your RSVP the number of children for whom you will need childcare.
