Itinerary
Snowshoeing offers you a way to see the park from a different perspective while enjoying outdoor winter fun and low-impact exercise. No experience is needed for this sport–if you can walk, you can snowshoe! You’ll meet your experienced guide at the trail head where you will be provided with snowshoes, trekking poles and simple-to-follow techniques to get you out on the trail. Once you’re ready, strap on your snowshoes and follow your guide along quiet trails, experiencing the Sequoia Grove in its winter beauty. Get incredible views of snow-covered mountains and meadows as you hike, and have plenty of opportunities to stop for photos and rest breaks. Wildlife can be easier to spot in the winter landscape; throughout your hike, your guide will keep an eye out for signs of deer, coyote, bobcats, bears and other creatures that inhabit the area.
Choose from two options for your family or group: Beginner Snowshoe Hike Enjoy a pleasant half-day snowshoe hike on a relatively gentle trail in Yosemite Valley or nearby trails. You’ll be provided with basic snowshoeing instructions and the day’s program will be tailored to your experience level. This activity is perfect for beginners and families.

About Yosemite National Park
Yosemite is a national park in California's Sierra Nevada, famous for granite cliffs, giant sequoias, high waterfalls and meadows below the peaks.
Yosemite National Park covers a wide stretch of the Sierra Nevada in California, with Yosemite Valley, carved by glaciers, at its heart. Sheer granite walls rise on either side of the Merced River: El Capitan, a favourite of rock climbers, and Half Dome, a rounded summit, tower above the valley floor. Yosemite Falls drops in several stages for a total of about 740 metres, among the tallest waterfalls in North America.
