Tenaya at Yosemite Boasts Remodel and New Amenities
FISH CAMP, Calif. /PRNewswire/ — Tenaya at Yosemite is pleased to announce the completion of a 244-room remodel in its main Lodge, along with the addition of new amenities to enhance each guest’s experience.
Tenaya at Yosemite
Inspired by the Arts and Crafts movement, Tenaya at Yosemite reimagined the era’s timeless charm with a modern touch. The rooms are designed with a focus on warm wood tones and a palette of soothing, earthy colors to create a tranquil haven promising a peaceful interlude from the exhilaration of Yosemite’s great outdoors. Elegant furnishings and soft textures echo the natural beauty of the Sierras, while handcrafted details and understated patterns lend a distinguished nod to the movement’s exquisite design philosophy.
Each lodge room’s headboards, nightstands, desks, luggage bench, and acoustical TV wall panels have received custom upgrades designed by Allen & Philip Partners and built by Samuel Lawrence Hospitality. These new case good furnishings are complimented by Kellex Seating desk chairs, ottomans and sleeper sofas, as well as new lounge chairs by Kovet Hospitality and dining chairs by Sandler Seating.
Tenaya at Yosemite’s lobby and concierge area has also been fully remodeled to seamlessly bridge the guestroom’s new design elements throughout the property.
In addition to the hotel’s redesign, Tenaya at Yosemite has also unveiled new amenities – including a new pickleball court played with grass rules, a new bocce ball court at the Explorer Clubhouse, a new 18-foot rock-climbing wall with Sierra Nevada Mountain views, and a new dedicated canine play area to expand their dog-friendly services.
Among the on-site additions, Tenaya at Yosemite has begun running new shuttles into Yosemite National Park. Tenaya Shuttles takes guests directly into the heart of the park for convenient access to Yosemite’s iconic sights and hikes. Tenaya Shuttles are available to all overnight guests for $39 per seat, with children two and under riding for free, departing from Tenaya’s Port-Cochere at 7 a.m. and returns from Lot 7 at 3 p.m.
“The experience at Tenaya at Yosemite offers an escape from the ordinary and it was important that we carry that overall experience through to our room design and services,” said General Manager, Brett Archer. “We have taken our guests needs into account through the redesign and expanded our on-site offerings with the overall goal of providing seamless service and simplifying their stay. We hope that, through these changes, they can further enjoy the outdoor exploration in our backyard knowing they have a tranquil space to come back to.”

(Family Features) Taking good care of your skin all year long is essential, but even more so in the summer when the power of the sun is at its strongest. Healthy skin doesn’t require fancy moisturizers or expensive skin care products. You just need to adopt a few healthy habits.
For example, keeping your skin healthy and glowing starts from the inside out by eating and drinking healthy foods and beverages that nourish your body’s largest organ and promote healthy skin cells. Additionally, studies show certain foods, such as fresh, juicy grapes, may help protect healthy skin even when exposed to UV light, which is known to damage skin cells.
A study published in the journal “Antioxidants,” in which people consumed 2 1/4 cups of grapes every day for two weeks, showed increased resistance to sunburn and reduced markers of UV damage at the cellular level. This study reinforced previous and similar findings published in the “Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology.” Grapes are also a hydrating food with 82% water content; hydration is essential to healthy skin.
Along with snacking on fresh, delicious California grapes, consider these everyday ways you can keep your skin safe from the sun’s rays.
Seek Shade
Most experts recommend avoiding the sun at the height of the day, between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., when its rays are at full strength. That doesn’t mean you can’t be outside – just seek shade as often as possible while enjoying the warm summer air.
Prioritize Hydration
Drinking water and staying hydrated is important year-round, but especially when it’s hot and you’re more likely to lose water content through sweat. Keep your body full of moisture with simple and delicious Grape-Infused Waters. For a zesty kick, try Grape, Ginger and Lime that combines the sweetness of grapes with the zing of ginger and lime, or Grape, Lemon and Mint, offering a bright and invigorating blend of citrus and mint. Enter your Zen state with a mellow, spa-like sip from Grape, Cucumber and Mint.
For a cool, hydrating snack, try freezing grapes. Simply rinse, pat dry, remove from the stems and freeze for 2 hours in a single layer on a sheet pan. You can even enjoy them as flavorful ice cube replacements in these easy-to-prepare, flavorful beverages.
Layer Up
While you’re enjoying the sunshine, layer up with a generous application of 30 SPF or higher sunscreen every 1-2 hours. Wear lightweight, long-sleeve shirts; wide-brimmed hats; sunglasses; and other protective clothing to reduce sun exposure, which can lead to wrinkles, age spots and other health problems, including an increased risk of skin cancer.

(Family Features) Pruning, or the practice of removing dead or diseased branches from flowering plants – including certain herbs, vegetables, shrubs, trees and flowers – allows them to focus their energy on new growth and blossoms, which can result in a more robust and abundant flowering season.
While the optimal time to prune is largely dependent on the type of plant and its blooming cycle, in general completing the chore shortly after first bloom can help shape plants, ensuring they grow in a desirable manner, and improve air circulation and light penetration, which help prevent fungal diseases.
Start by gathering the necessary tools, including sharp bypass pruners, loppers, a pruning saw and hedge shears, then consider these simple steps to begin pruning your plants:
- Inspect your plants and remove any dead, diseased or damaged branches.
- Find branches that cross or rub against each other and remove one of the crossing branches to allow the other to grow freely.
- Thin out the plant by removing any overcrowded branches.
- Shape the plant as desired, maintaining its natural form and structure.

(Family Features) Senior year of high school is a time for big changes for most people, but for Emani McConnell-Brent, she did not expect it would include changes to her health. After being rushed to the emergency room with severe stomach pain, McConnell-Brent learned the problem was her kidneys and she was diagnosed with a kidney disease called focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS).
After her diagnosis, McConnell-Brent struggled to get the right medicines to treat her disease. She was encouraged to undergo a genetic test and discovered her FSGS was the result of APOL1-mediated kidney disease (AMKD), a rapidly progressive genetic kidney disease that can cause kidney failure. The diagnosis brought McConnell-Brent some relief, both physically and emotionally.
“Knowing it’s genetic and knowing I’m taking care of myself makes a big difference in my mental state,” said McConnell-Brent, now 21 and an ambassador for the American Kidney Fund.
Everyone has two copies of the apolipoprotein L1 (APOL1) gene – one from each parent – but Black Americans of West and Central African ancestry are more likely to have changes (variants or mutations) in their APOL1 gene that cause AMKD. This genetic form of kidney disease can develop even at a young age, in otherwise healthy people, and can advance faster than other kidney diseases.
An estimated 13% of Black Americans have the two APOL1 gene variants that are associated with AMKD. Those who have variants in both copies of the APOL1 gene have a 1 in 5 chance of developing kidney disease.
“A lot of people don’t even know about how prevalent the APOL1 gene is in the African American community,” McConnell-Brent said.
Early diagnosis of AMKD can keep your kidneys working longer, delaying the need for dialysis or a kidney transplant.
If you have kidney damage, symptoms may not occur until your kidneys are close to failing. As kidney damage worsens, one or more of these symptoms may occur:
- Protein in urine
- Swelling in legs or weight gain
- Feeling weak or tired
- High blood pressure
