10 Best Ranches and Lodges for Families in the American West - AFAR

"A century‑old mountain resort just outside Yosemite’s west gate that blends classic log‑cabin charm with modern social‑responsibility initiatives, including a youth employment program for seasonal interns and status as a certified B Corp with the county’s first commercial graywater system. Families return for campfire s’mores, zip lines through ponderosa pines, a saltwater pool and hot tub, and comfortable cabins, while guided programming ranges from snowshoe treks and Yosemite Valley naturalist tours to rafting and bike tours; the operation places a strong emphasis on community impact and outdoor education." - Jennifer Flowers, Nora Zelevansky, Devorah Lev-Tov
