Now is a great time to be planning a fall or winter getaway to a national park, and at Yosemite National Park a special lodging rate might be enough to entice you to the park.

During select dates later this year you'll be able to reserve a room at Yosemite Lodge at the Falls for just $99 a night. True, the water falling into the Yosemite Valley late in the year is not as robust as in the spring and early summer, but the weather is gorgeous and the fall colors of the trees perfect for photographs.

That rate, which is based on double occupancy, is good for stays in a lodge room on November 4-7, 12-14, 18-20 and 25th, as well as December 5 and 6.

To qualify for this rate, use the reservation code "LPREFERRED." You can make a reservation at this site or by calling 801-559-5029.

Fine print: Rates do not include taxes. Package maynot be cominbed with other discounts, packages, or special offers. No refunds for early checkout or unused portions of package. Offer is subject to change with NPS approval. Advance reservations are required. Penalties will apply for cancellations made within seven days of arrival date.
