Wawona Hotel

     Near a majestic grove of giant sequoias in Yosemite National Park lies a peaceful spot known to the native Miwok Indians as "Pallachun" - a good place to stop. It was here that Galen Clark, Yosemite’s original superintendent and guardian built a rustic lodge in 1856. In 1875, he sold his establishment to Henry Washburn who renamed the site Wawona - from the Miwok word for "Big Trees." The existing hotel was built by Washburn in 1879 and is distinguished by its wraparound balconies that allow guests to soak in their surroundings.
