“Destination Yosemite” is headed for Los Angeles this weekend to tout rock climbing, skiing, rafting, campfires and other outdoor activities for families to enjoy. The “Yosemite Experience” is an experiential and informational pavilion with the Los Angeles Times Travel and Adventure Show, Feb. 13 and 14.

Designed with the look and feel of California’s premier national park, the inaugural Yosemite Experience will feature an open walk-through area for consumers to meet with exhibitors from the Mariposa County area and learn about the destination, including hotels, attractions and travel products. Special activities for families to experience hands-on will include the Tenaya Lodge/Yosemite rock climbing wall, kids’ steer roping exhibition, Badger Pass ski exhibit and Zephyr Whitewater rafting display.

The Yosemite Experience marks the first time multiple Yosemite destination partners have combined to showcase the scores of amenities the area has to offer. Participating tourism and gateway partners include the Yosemite Mariposa Tourism Bureau, Delaware North Companies Parks and Resorts at Yosemite, Tenaya Lodge, Yosemite Resorts, Yosemite Sierra Visitors Bureau, Tuolumne Visitors Bureau, Mono County Tourism, Yosemite Pack Station, the Sugar Pine Railroad, Highway 120/Yosemite Chamber, Merced Welcome Center/YARTS and Zephyr Rafting Company.

“This groundbreaking effort is another of multiple Yosemite area tourism partners coming together as one destination and creating a must see, must visit exhibit that will be the primary attraction at this ultra-competitive consumer show,” said Jeffery Hentz, executive director of the Yosemite/Mariposa Tourism Bureau. “We are very proud and excited to bring this one-of-kind event to Southern California. It’s never been done before.”

Consumers attending the show will also have the opportunity to sign up and win travel packages to the Yosemite area, including a family travel package that includes an 8 to 10 day trip to visit the area.
