Yosemite National Park

This waterfall thunders into a manmade reservoir named Hetch Hetchy. Breathtaking, these two little-known treasures are not crowded with tourists, which can make for a peaceful and breathtaking getaway.

Like the countless variety of activities that await each visitor, there is a multitude of accommodation choices. The site lists the location, amenities, and prices for each hotel, lodge, or campsite, and a visitor can make a reservation online.
