Overview
Snowshoeing in Yosemite is an amazing experience! It is an easy sport to learn and offers you the chance to get into the less-traveled winter wonderland that the Yosemite backcountry becomes.
For those looking to fully embrace all winter has to offer, head up to the high country and snowshoe from the Badger Pass Ski Resort to Dewey Point, an incredible outcropping that offers expansive views of the Yosemite Valley, including the towering El Capitan.

Unnamed Road
Much like in the summer, the Yosemite Valley Floor offers hours of exploration within the more level and easier accessible areas of the Yosemite Valley. In addition to providing you with natural and geological history, this tour will highlight some of the lesser known winter ‘gems’ around the valley. The Yosemite Valley Floor Loop is a customizable tour that is great for families with younger children and/or families looking for an easier hike but can be customized to be more strenuous if desired. All tours are private.
