Tenaya at Yosemite is an activity and guiding provider located in Fish Camp, California, offering a wide range of outdoor experiences and hands-on workshops just outside Yosemite National Park. The business features full-day and short-format options, including the Yosemite Summer Tour — a 9-hour guided journey through Yosemite Valley led by an expert local guide — plus shorter activities such as 30-minute archery lessons at the Sierra Mountain Archery Range and two-hour guided mountain bike adventures that include a 5-mile ride and a half-mile hike to Tenaya Falls.
Guided nature hikes (75–90 minutes) and flashlight hikes (about 1 hour 15 minutes, roughly two miles) are led by expert nature guides and include winter snowshoe options. E-bike rentals provide access to scenic trails in the Sierra National Forest for riders age 16 and up. Seasonal studio offerings include glass blowing classes held Thursday through Saturday from July 13 to October 28, 2023, with only four students per time slot for focused, personalized instruction. Family-friendly craft options include terracotta pot decorating with supplied soil and wildflower seeds, and an ornament workshop that provides materials for decorating six keepsakes. A special Kids New Year’s Eve celebration for ages 8–12 offers supervised activities and family-centered programming.
Tenaya at Yosemite lists specific age minimums and durations for its experiences, operates from a defined Fish Camp location, and provides guided access to local natural highlights such as Yosemite Valley, Half Dome, Yosemite Falls, and Tenaya Falls. The combination of guided tours, equipment rentals, and small-group workshops supports a range of guest interests and abilities.
