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. One of our knowledgeable Yosemite guides will meet you at the Badger Pass parking area, where they will provide snowshoes and hiking poles and will educate you on the proper techniques of snowshoeing and safe backcountry winter travel. Along the way, you will pass through a winter wonderland of snow-covered trees, meadows, and beautiful Yosemite vistas, ending with the awe-inspiring Dewey Point outlook.
