Guided Snowshoe Hike

Snowshoeing in the Sierra At Resort 8 a.m. - 5 p.m. Beginning Winter 2023 Snowshoeing is an excellent way to explore the Sierra National Forest in winter. Rent a pair of snowshoes at Tenaya, put them on and trek out into an epic outdoor world. A great cardiovascular activity, there’s no better way to glimpse the frozen Yosemite. Tenaya at Yosemite has convenient snowshoe rentals for our guests just outside the main entrance. SUGGESTED SNOWSHOE WALKS Please note that these walks may or may not have snow depending on conditions at that elevation. Tenaya At Yosemite Nature Trail (elevation: 5,200 feet). A casual walk of a bit more than a mile through the forests around Tenaya at Yosemite. Jackson Road. Leave right from Tenaya at Yosemite and walk out Jackson Road (snowshoes generally not needed except soon after snowfalls) and pick a side trail through the woods. The horseback trails are nice and the Tenaya concierge can give you a map to the small waterfall about 2.5 miles away on a spur trail off Jackson Road. Goat Meadow (elevation: 5,200 feet; see Google Maps). Goat Meadow is a jumping off point for many miles of trail up to Mount Raymond, Biledo Meadow and even the Mariposa Grove of Giant Sequoias. The trails were once marked. A GPS is needed to find your way here. Mariposa Grove. When the road to the Mariposa Grove is closed due to snow, it makes for a moderate and very easy to follow track with few other visitors around. Dewey Point (elevation: 7,200 feet). An area classic. From the Badger Pass parking area, follow Glacier Point Road for about half a mile and then choose between the Dewey Ridge Trail or the Dewey Meadow Trail a bit further along. Trail maps available in the Nordic Center at the Yosemite Ski and Snowboard Area (at Badger Bass).
