F A L L /// in love with the Ahwahnee Hotel in @yosemitenps The Ahwahnee Hotel has been wowing Yosemite visitors since 1927 with its jaw-dropping architecture and rich past. Built to showcase the majesty of the park, this National Historic Landmark blends rustic charm with Art Deco elegance. From its 34-foot-high dining room ceilings 🍷 to hosting presidents and Hollywood legends 🎬, the Ahwahnee is as iconic as Half Dome itself. During WWII, it even transformed into a Navy convalescent hospital

The Ahwahnee Hotel in Yosemite is often cited as a key design influence for The Shining’s Overlook Hotel. Although the movie was filmed entirely in the UK at Elstree Studios, the production team drew inspiration from the Ahwahnee’s interiors, especially the dining hall and lobby, when building the sets. | The Cinegogue

Enjoy this autumn stroll through The Indian Village of the Ahwahnee in Yosemite Valley. It's named for the original inhabitants of the Yosemite region, and located behind the Yosemite Museum. It's still actively used by the local Native American community for ceremonies and special gatherings. 📰 | http://ow.ly/evJk50GPjKK (about Yosemite's first people) #YosemiteNation Visit Gold Country Visit California California High Sierra | Yosemite Nation
