Jen 33 Travel: Who Knew Yosemite Could be so Glamorous!

A World-Class Spa Just 1 Mile from the National Park Entrance

Last weekend, I took a much needed girl’s trip to an incredible lodge and luxury spa located right at the doorstep of Yosemite National Park. Rush Creek Lodge & Spa is just one mile from the west entrance and the perfect spot for a little rest, relaxation, and pampering after a long day of hiking and fighting the crowd in the park.

The spa transports you to another realm, designed in the essence of Yosemite’s grandeur – rushing waterfalls, warm granite rock, smooth river rocks softened with time, scents of eucalyptus and lemongrass, and mineral hot springs.

In addition to massages, facials, and a whole range of other incredible spa experiences, you can get a day pass and experience all of the following: .

  • Sensory Mediation Room with sounds and lighting to put you in a full state of relaxation.

  • Aromatherapy steam room

  • Warm waterfall cove where you can sit and let the warm waters fall over your back.

  • Himalayan salt sauna

  • Cool mist room with alternating cold and warm showers

  • Granite mineral hot tub and waterfall

  • Heated zero gravity stone chaise lounges

  • Open air outdoor lounge

  • Complimentary tea bar
