To reserve a room at The Ahwahnee hotel in Yosemite Valley requires planning. There are only 125 rooms at the 4-star hotel and over three million people visit the national park, so knowledgeable guests often call on the day the hotel opens reservations, a year and a day in advance, in order to reserve one of its prized rooms. Now, there’s a rare opporunity to win a stay at The Ahwahnee. A sweepstakes created by the Yosemite / Mariposa Tourism Bureau includes a five-night stay, plus activities and dinner at the national historic landmark hotel. Weekly prizes include two-night stays at some of the region’s best lodging properties: Yosemite Lodge at the Falls, Yosemite View Lodge, Tenaya Lodge at Yosemite and Yosemite Bug Rustic Mountain Resort. Find more at www.yosemitemariposa.com
