Program Overview: Winter in Yosemite means quiet days, glittering peaks, and…snowshoe season! Join us for a guided snowshoe to Dewey Point, high above Yosemite Valley. As you make your way through a frosty forest wonderland, your naturalist guide will point out animal tracks, tree species, and signs of a thriving ecosystem well-adapted to the Sierra winter. Enjoy lunch at the overlook, where you’ll find spectacular views of El Capitan, Clouds Rest and other iconic features, then take the scenic route back to Badger Pass Ski Area.

COVID-19: We have implemented special safety measures to keep participants and instructors safe during the ongoing pandemic. For example, participants will hike single-file and keep moving to avoid crowding the trail, and instructors will stop to offer interpretation only when there is ample space to stay at least six feet apart. Please review our COVID-19 procedures for details.
