Wawona Hotel - Yosemite National Park, California

California's Yosemite National Park is home to the Wawona Hotel, established in the 1850's as Clark's Station and later redeveloped into a grand resort, this hotel has operated for well over a hundred years, although it is currently closed for a structural assessment and repairs to ensure it is able to keep operating in the future. These photos were taken in 2010 in the midst of a road trip that took us through a number of states in the south western USA, including a stay in Moores Cottage, part of the Wawona Hotel complex.
