Get a firsthand look at how Yosemite transforms during the quiet winter months during a personalized half- or full-day outing with one of our naturalists on our custom winter adventures. As you hike or snowshoe, look for and learn about signs of the season, such as frazil ice, snow-topped trees and tiny tracks leading to the subnivean zone.
In addition to enjoying a personalized adventure, you’ll be supporting Yosemite! As with all Conservancy programs, participation in our Custom Adventures helps fund important work in the park.
