    The Yosemite Bug is a holiday resort for backpackers as well as people wanting a bit more luxury. You can stay there for as long as you want. They have a variety of accommodation including tents, cabins and dormitories. I stayed in the dorms on a 2.5 day package. The beds are much bigger than you normal hostel style beds and the everything is very clean.

    Food is served three times a day at the Bug Bar which does very lovely and more importantly fresh food for a great price. The Bug offers guided tours of Yosemite which can be as easy or demanding as you want them to be. All staff live in the park and know everything you ever wanted to know about the geology, people and animals in this amazing place.

    After a day of hiking you can relax in the resorts Spa which has a Jacuzzi and Sauna and offers massages and reiki.

    I spent 2.5 days there an thoroughly enjoyed it. I wish I could have stayed longer. The atmosphere is very chilled and relaxed and the people who work there are friendly and helpful. Yosemite is an awesome place for hikers, climbers and people who just want to get away from it all.

    The Bug is great because it is very informal but the service is great and it doesn't have the 'touristy' feel some of the bigger hotel chains have in the Yosemite Valley like Curry Village.

    YARTS is a bus which caters for hikers wanting to get in and out of the park. It stops about 100 meters for the resorts' entrance: www.yarts.com/

    Both Greyhound and AMTRAK Services go to Yosemite as well.
