HI – Midpines: Chasing Moonbows in Yosemite

By Janet Thomas

Have you ever seen a Moonbow? Not many people have. It’s a very rare, pure white lunar rainbow that only occurs on full moon nights in Spring and early Summer in just a handful of places in the entire world. One of those rare places is at Yosemite National Park, an unforgettable must-see for any traveler. At HI-Midpines at The Yosemite Bug Rustic Mountain Resort, we help travelers chase that moonbow and experience the majestic beauty of all Yosemite has to offer.

HI-Midpines is nestled on 50 acres of forested hillside with an excellent café and health spa on site. We are a fully loaded hostel with friendly staff to help you plan your hike, pack your lunch, and get you going. Jump on the Bug Bus for the spectacular ride to Yosemite along the winding Merced River through historic California Gold Country. See Yosemite through the eyes of our local guides,

Two and four day tours are available from San Francisco on the Bug Bus. Tours include hiking, biking, whitewater rafting and campfire fun. Call 866-826-7108 to make reservations. We have our own YARTS bus stop at our entrance, so you can take the bus into Yosemite Valley directly for a $12 round trip fare including the park entrance fee. The park offers guided moonlight tours that cost around $20, or you can set off for your own adventure.

Visit us once, and you'll come back for a lifetime
