From skiing to camping, here are the best things to do in Yosemite in Winter!
Known to be one of the most amazing places in the United States, Yosemite National Park attracts millions of visitors every single year and is one of the top things to do in California.
Even more famous than its famous cousin across the border in Canada, Banff National Park, there’s absolutely no reason you shouldn’t add visiting Yosemite in winter to your bucket list!
The Best Things To Do In Yosemite In Winter
With less visitors and beautiful snow covered landscapes it’s an excellent idea to visit Yosemite National Park in the winter time.
There are plenty of outdoor activities to enjoy in the Yosemite valley and local museums are open year-round too! Whatever your reasons for escaping to Yosemite National Park, there’s sure to be something to that is perfect for you.
Here are some of the best things to do in Yosemite in winter.
Cross Country And Downhill Skiing
No winter destination is complete without the opportunity for some fun in the snow and Yosemite does not disappoint. Cross country skiing trails are in their abundance giving visitors with a range of abilities the opportunity to enjoy the park. It’s one of the main Yosemite attractions!
Cross Country Skiing is popular in the Glacier Point area, particularly the route from Badger Pass to Glacier Point. Wawona Meadow is another lesser known but still beautiful cross country skiing spot in the Yosemite Valley.
Mariposa Grove of Giant Sequoias is a top attraction in the national park, featuring forests of the gigantic and impressive sequoia trees. The roads leading here close during the winter, but the area is still open for cross country skiing. So skiing is the best way to see Mariposa Grove in winter.
The Yosemite National Park Ski School has everything you need to enjoy your trip. Here you can rent equipment including cross-country skis, snowshoes and even specialised sleds for pulling your kids along too.
Ice Skating, Indoors Or Outdoors
Fun for all the family at Yosemite National Park, ice skating is definitely an activity you should try here. The half dome rink offers spectacular mountain and tree lined views whilst you skate making it a unique experience.
You’ll find all you need from the rental area and there’s a warming hut to keep your shoes toasty and to warm up after skating too. Indoor rinks are also found at Tenaya Lodge and Mammoth, great if the weather is very bad.
