OFFERED IN WINTER & SPRING*
This 3-mile round trip snowshoe adventure combines the beauty of a snow covered Yosemite with the majesty of the Giant Sequoias. The stunning contrast of white snow against the reddish bark of the sequoias, the largest living species on earth, is like nothing you have ever seen.
A visit amongst the magnificent giant sequoia will leave one awe-struck any time of year, but winter and spring make for unforgettable outings. Walking on snowshoes (or on foot if snow is limited) is easy and opens up a landscape that is seen by few visitors. The giant sequoia portion of the day includes a 3-mile round trip walk.
Sunlight pierces their feathery foliage landing on the white snow, a stunning contrast to the tree’s red hued bark. In spring, wildflowers and birds join us on our hike, adding to the serenity. Our guides will share knowledge about the Park and its trees, ensuring a fun and inspiring experience!
