Yosemite National Park
A slower, more intentional way to experience Yosemite—what stood out, where we stayed, and what I’d return for.
Yosemite is one of those places that doesn’t need much explanation—but it does require time.
This wasn’t a trip about doing everything. It was about slowing down enough to actually take it in—the views, the quiet moments, and the space in between.
I’ll be adding to this over the next few days as I share more from the trip.
Where We Stayed
The Inelle Hotel
We stayed at The Inelle Hotel, which quietly shaped the rhythm of the entire trip.
After long days out, it gave us a place to come back to—to slow down, reset, and settle in without needing anything more. The kind of space that lets the day fully land before the next one begins.
It wasn’t just where we slept—it made everything else feel easier, and set the tone for how we moved through the rest of the weekend.
If you’re planning your Yosemite stay, this is where we’d start.
Where We Ate
Trelio Food & Wine
We ended our first night at Trelio Food & Wine in Old Town Clovis—a stop that quickly became one of the most memorable parts of the trip.
The five-course prix fixe menu unfolds slowly and intentionally—each course shaped by the season and the ingredients available that day.
It wasn’t just a meal—it set the tone for the entire weekend.
If you’re planning your Yosemite route, this is one stop worth building into it.
