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
