The Winter season in Yosemite National Park is great. It's well worth the extra effort getting there in rough driving conditions. Check the latest road conditions and weather forecast before you head up. Bring tire chains, your going to need them! ( required by law )
All of these images were taken by me. They have been altered in size only.
I have three favorite areas for "snow play" in Yosemite. The Mariposa Grove, Badger Pass / Glacier Point Road and Yosemite Valley. I will attempt with photos to show something of what it's like to go into these places in winter. This first diary part one will cover the Mariposa Grove and the Badger Pass / Glacier Point Road areas.
Part two will cover the Valley.
Ski on past the orange snow bank if you would like to see more of winter in Yosemite.
