snowshoes                         It’s winter in Yosemite! If you’ve never seen this world-famous park draped in snowfall, you’re missing out on sublime beauty—not to mention a fantastic lineup of winter activities. And you couldn't ask for cozier winter lodging than a Scenic Wonders cabin! Given the drifts have already begun piling up, let’s explore three of the best activities for embracing the season in Yosemite National Park.

Badger Pass Skiing

From December through March, snowplows keep the initial five miles of Glacier Point Road open to the celebrated Badger Pass Ski Area. This decked-out facility, a rarity for a national park, offers 10 different runs for beginner, intermediate, and advanced skiers and snowboarders as well as lessons for all ages. You can rent all the gear you need on-site. Come experience this historic, stunningly situated Sierra ski area firsthand!

Cross-country Skiing and Snowshoeing

Downhill delights at Badger Pass aren’t the only skiing opportunities Yosemite serves up with its world-class snowfall. Miles of cross-country skiing and snowshoeing routes lace through the park’s grand forests. Badger Pass itself is also a cross-country hub; the trek out toward Glacier Point along the unplowed road is legendary. Other options include Crane Flat and the Mariposa Grove, where you can cruise among gargantuan sequoias in wintry solitude.

Relishing the Outdoor Jacuzzis in Scenic Wonders Winter Cabin Rentals

Winter activities such as skiing and snowshoeing are certainly magical ways to celebrate Yosemite’s quiet season. Just as wonderful, though, is returning to your Scenic Wonders winter lodging for a blissfully hot soak! Our cabin Jacuzzis welcome you after a day’s worth of adventuring like nothing else can. Throw in some delicious cabin heating and piney views out the window, and you’ve got mountain luxury of the best kind!
