During winter, we offer two relaxing tours for our guests to enjoy: Our Yosemite Valley Winter Tour and our Giant Sequoia's Winter Tour. Join our professional, local guides as they take you hiking or snowshoeing along some of Yosemite's most scenic winter trials. Spend time in the valley while snowshoeing along the Merced River or take it up a notch and snowshoe up to an unforgettable winter view of El Capitan. Lunch consists of a three-course meal in the historical Ahwahnee dining room, where guests can warm up with hot chocolate by a roaring fire.

Giant Sequoias Winter Tour

There is no place on earth that is more magical than winter time in a Giant Sequoia grove. When you stand at the base of one of these ancient beauties, you can not help but feel captivated by its presence. Embark on a winter journey with one of our local naturalist guides as they take you snowshoeing or hiking down into Yosemite's magnificent groves of giant Sequoias, with standouts like the Two Sisters, the Grizzly Giant and the old tunnel tree. Your local guide will also take you hiking/snowshoeing on a forgotten trial that was used as one of the main routes into Yosemite Valley during the Gold Rush years.
