Visit Yosemite

Mountains that seem to touch the sky, pine framed vistas like living paintings, and endless trails for every appetite—this is Yosemite National Park. Set in the heart of the California Sierra Nevada mountains, the park’s diverse landscapes, abundant wildlife, and unparalleled natural beauty invite you to hike, bike, climb, and simply breathe. By day, answer the adrenaline call and climb the granite walls of Half Dome and El Capitan. Explore thousands of miles of trails, wildflower meadows, whispering forests, and quiet lakes. At dusk, evenings fall into a hush beneath the stars, while pioneer history adds context, texture and story to your every visit. Whether you seek the pulse of adventure or the balm of stillness, Yosemite offers both. It invites you to slow time, stand beneath something vast, and come away changed.

Let's Talk!

As vacation property owners themselves, Ruthy & Abel, bring their passion for hospitality and a distinctive touch to every home. Let them help you balance profitability with care. Ensuring your home is not just a rental but a well-maintained investment.

Bass Lake

Head a little south of Yosemite to bask in the cool waters of Bass Lake. This hotspot draws in kayakers, tubers, jet skiers, and almost any water-based adventure you can dream up. Bass, trout, and salmon call these waters home, making this an ideal spot to cast a line. Leaf peep in the fall, strap on the snowshoes for a winter hike, or let spring’s warming temps fuel the area’s waterfalls.

Mammoth Mountain

Fly down the faces of Mammoth Mountain where skiers and snowboarders shred down the resort’s 11,053 feet of trails or 3,500 acres of terrain. Ditch the slopes and head out of Tamarack Cross-Country Ski Center’s trails for a calmer way to workout in splendor then warm up when you sip hot chocolate fireside,

Badger Pass Ski Area

Stay inside Yosemite National Park and still get your ski and snowboard fix. Badge Pass’ 10 runs serve up fun for all levels of skiing and 90 miles of marked trails delight cross-country skiers. Even non-skiers can explore this winter playground with tubing adventures catering to the younger crowd.

Hiking

Choose your hiking adventure in Yosemite. Feeling like an easy stroll? Take your walk waterside along Mirror Lake Trail or Lower Yosemite Falls Trail: where you can hike to the base country’s highest waterfall. The ultimate challenge has to be Half Dome where the last stretch requires cables to get you up the 4,800-foot elevation. Easy or hard, or something in between, Yosemite and the surrounding areas let you carve your own path.

Gold Rush Comes Alive

Feeling lucky? The hills near Yosemite lured speculators with its promise of gold and while you probably won’t leave a gold barron, you will go home with educational riches after visiting the California State Mining & Mineral Museum where you can see the Fricot Nugget weighing in at almost 14 pounds of pure gold. History buffs, turn the calendar back when you tour Fresno Flats Historic Village & Park where pioneer homes and businesses are preserved for today’s visitors. Another monument to the Gold Rush era is the recreated pioneer town at the
Pioneer Yosemite History Center where visitors can walk the ground and explore structures from almost 200 years ago.

Golfing

The Sierra Nevadas make for a stunning backdrop as you tee off at one of the courses near Yosemite. Stay inside the park and book a tee time at
Wawona Golf Course and enjoy the 9-hole course nestled in the pines and mountain peaks. Venture south to test out
River Creek Golf Course or head west of the park to
Pine Mountain Lake Golf Course. No matter which part of the park you find yourself, options abound to test your skill and level up play.

Arts & Culture

Pioneers came for gold, but some of the region’s real wealth stems from the abundance of museums and art galleries around Yosemite. No artist is as synonymous with these mountains as Ansel Adams and The Ansel Adams Gallery in Yosemite Valley pays tribute to his iconic photography. Explore the area’s indigenous history at the Yosemite Museum & Indian and head to Mariposa to soak in the town’s creativity at galleries showcasing local artist’s works.

Biking

Pedal along Yosemite Valley’s 12 miles of flat trails and spy iconic sites like El Capitan, Half Dome, and Yosemite Falls. Dirt bikers, head to the park’s one authorized trail, the Wawona Meadow Loop, for amped-up rides. Good news for e-bike fans–you can ride on any of the park’s designated trails. Head out of the park to traverse the Sierra National Forest’s terrain and check out the Exchequer Mountain Bike Park where there’s a ride for all levels.

Rock Climbing

No sport connects to Yosemite more than rock climbing. Ever since 1958 saw the first intrepid climber ascend El Capitan’s nose, climbers have flocked to Yosemite for unparalleled climbing. Climb for a day or commit to a multi-day trek of Half Dome, Tuolumne Meadows, and El Capitan. Smaller faces like Swan Slabs and Manure Pile Buttress make for a less demanding experience (but just as thrilling).

Boating and Fishing

Wander off the beaten trail, literally. The best fishing in Yosemite means heading off trail and toward the park’s fishing hub. Every fishing hole has its positives, but the Tuolumne River is the standout with multiple trout varieties. Check out the river’s Lyell Fork for stream fishing and scenery that looks like it’s plucked out of an Ansel Adams image. The Merced River is another fishing haven for trout, but check regulations to follow California’s fishing rules. Lake lovers flock to the High Sierra Lakes to cast a line in the hundreds of lakes and streams carving through this western wonderland.

Horseback Riding

Gallop on one of Yosemite’s trails or take a trail ride outside for a memorable way to explore the valley. Local stables offer tours to connect you with the land as pioneers did more than 150 years ago.

White Water Rafting

Waters roar on the Merced River and when you battle its rapids, you can roar with pride after battling spring’s Class IV rapids. Since these rivers depend on snowmelt horsepower, the weather determines how fast the waters flow, but summer riders generally encounter mellower waters. The Tuolumne River’s waters do not play: here you’ll find anything from Class IV to V+. These waters welcome only the most seasoned riders with the dam releases and snowmelt upping the intensity.

Property Damage Waiver

Enjoy peace-of-mind with our incidental damage protection.

SkyRun includes a property damage protection waiver on each reservation. The damage waiver covers damage to the property up to $1,500 so long as the damage is accidental and reported to SkyRun prior to your departure. It does not cover damage that is willful, the result of negligence, or damaged caused by the misuse of household items. It also doesn’t cover unreported damage. SkyRun doesn’t charge our guests a refundable damage deposit in lieu of the waiver. Unlike a refundable damage deposit, the damage protection waiver is nonrefundable.

Should the cost of the damage exceed $1,500 or does not meet the criteria for a “covered loss”, and the property owner’s insurance policy also does not cover the loss, then you shall be responsible for the full amount of the damage which will be charged to the credit card on file. Coverage is provided to you and all travelling companions that are staying in the home overnight during your stay.

Coverage is not provided for loss due to:

  • Your intentional acts or gross negligence.
  • Any damage that occurs if you are in violation of the terms and conditions (including but not limited to having more than maximum occupancy or having a party).
  • Loss, theft or damage to any personal effects owned by you or brought on the covered stay by you.
