Evergreen Lodge

From its humble start in the early 1920s, the Evergreen has matured into what Frommer's calls "The classic Yosemite experience," where you can escape to your very own comfy cabin in the woods. Today you'll find 88 cabins scattered throughout 20 acres of towering pines, each with its own balcony to create a sense of privacy, yet within easy reach of the central plaza, tavern and recreation areas.

Wandering through the Evergreen you'll discover all sorts of surprise diversions for play or relaxation – hammocks, horseshoes, bocce, and zip lines, to name a few. Everything here is thoughtfully maintained to provide a sense of connection to nature, wilderness, and history, while still affording you the modern creature comforts and respecting the surrounding natural resources.

The Evergreen’s staff includes a group of high-potential young adults from urban backgrounds who work as paid seasonal interns.

They leave the city and their normal lives behind and come to live and work in the mountains.

Not only do they learn a specific trade, they are also able to live in a supportive community and enjoy outdoor experiences that challenge, motivate and inspire them.

Our commitment to our youth program stems from two central beliefs:

Supportive employment can help young people build momentum in their lives and realize their fullest potential
The outdoors in general, and places like Yosemite in particular, should be accessible to everyone
