The elevation ranges from 7,200 feet at Glacier Point down to 4,000 feet on the Valley Floor. The hike is mostly downhill with some uphill switchbacks and down a rocky step trail along the waterfalls. Hiking boots are required and hiking poles are helpful.

Our Curry Village tent cabin has a wooden frame, floor, and door with canvas sides and roof. It has 4 beds and an electrical light. Sheets, blankets, pillows and towels are provided also. The nearby bathroom and shower house are shared among the guests.

Bear-proof Storage Locker

Our Yosemite cabin is equipped with a bear-proof storage locker. The interior dimensions of this locker are 23" in height x 47" in width x 20" in depth. The locker is for storage of all items that have a “scent” to them including food, toiletries, ice chests, bug repellent, and sunscreen. Everything stored in the bear locker must be fully enclosed to prevent ants from coming in. Remember, you CANNOT store these items in your vehicle nor in the tent cabin. Be sure to remember to bring a flashlight to find your way around Curry Village at night.
