Established April 22, 1970 as a day of education about environmental issues, Earth Day is now a globally celebrated holiday that is sometimes extended into Earth Week. Tenaya Lodge will honor the spirit of Earth Day with the following activities:

Sunday, April 21

• Stargazing: From 8:30 to 9:30 p.m., guests may join Tenaya Lodge associates on the Grand Terrace for an evening of stargazing and complimentary hot chocolate. Miles from the nearest city lights, Yosemite boasts a very dark night sky which makes Tenaya Lodge a spectacular place to stargaze. Guests are encouraged to bring binoculars.

• Nature Walk: From 9:30 to 10:30 a.m., guests can meet up with the Tenaya Lodge Guest Recreation Team for a free, guided Nature Walk and Trail Clean-Up.
• Kids Create-a-Bug Workshop: From 4 to 6 p.m., the Guest Recreation Team will assist participants in creating their very own bug out of egg cartons.
• Organic Wine Tasting: From 4 to 6 p.m., Tenaya Lodge will treat guests to a complimentary wine and cheese tasting featuring organic wines from local wineries including Idle Hour, Bonterra and Fasi Crest.
• Tenaya Lodge Gift Shop and Ascent Spa Gift Shop will honor Earth Day by offering 20% off the purchase of eco-friendly products.
• Sierra Restaurant and Jackalope�s Bar & Grill will present organic and sustainable menu specials throughout the weekend.
