Mariposa, Calif. (July 9, 2015) – The recent marriage of Mila Kunis to Ashton Kutcher and their romantic escape in an RV to Yosemite National Park has surprised celebrity watchers who are accustomed to seeing stars at more traditionally luxurious locales. While the location choice is being touted as “low-key” the reasons for visiting Yosemite for romantic getaways is clear to those who have made a visit to Yosemite/Mariposa County.

The happy couple are enjoying their stay The Ahwahnee. Built in 1927, the hotel has hosted royalty and presidents in its more than 80 year history. The grand hotel is host to many lavish, small weddings and opulent food and wine events throughout the year.

Beyond the Ahwahnee Hotel, there are plenty of opportunities to find solitude and scenic beauty at every turn. Couples can get on the trail and experience the beauty of alpine lakes, granite overlooks, and world-class stargazing. After all that hiking, couples can indulge in world-class spa facilities such as the Ascent Spa at the Tenaya Lodge at Yosemite.

For more adventurous couples, Yosemite Ziplines and Adventure Ranch will get hearts racing. Mariposa's number one rated attraction soars guests above the Sierra Nevada Foothills on a total of 3,800 feet of zip lines. For those less inclined to enjoy a bird's eye view, a guided horseback ride with Yosemite Trails Saddle & Sleigh Company is the perfect alternative. Afterwards, enjoy wine tasting at one of the region's many small, boutique wineries and tasting rooms.

Lovers can hike through the serene beauty of Yosemite/Mariposa County to one of the valley's 21 waterfalls. Bridalveil Falls is one can't-miss spot when hiking the trails of Yosemite. The Ahwahneechee Indian tribe believed that inhaling the mist from the falls would improve one's chance of marriage, and this is one waterfall that flows year round; a must-see for any romantic trip to the area.

Plan a dream wedding at a luxurious resort such as The Ahwahnee or the Tenaya Lodge at Yosemite, enjoy the new wedding facilities at The Redwoods or plan a rustic wedding at one of the many beautiful wineries or historical Mariposa ranches.  Yosemite/Mariposa County is a year round romantic wedding destination, perfect for an autumn honeymoon or romantic winter wedding.

Unwind at day's end in a cozy room for two at one of Yosemite/Mariposa County's relaxing, beautiful lodging properties. From Bed & Breakfast inns and vacation rentals, to hotels and resorts, the destination offers lodging options perfect for all budgets and styles.
