Yosemite Winter Camp And Explore - SBC
This is an excellent chance to visit California’s most popular national park in its winter glory, and the perfect time to visit the park without the crowds. We will set up base camp at the Yosemite Bug's HEATED tent cabins and take side trips to visit waterfalls, explore the valley and take in some great vistas. At night you can choose to ice-skate under the stars or attend a ranger-led presentation. We will also have the opportunity to snowshoe among Giant Sequoias. Yosemite is a winter wonderland!

We will then make our lunch before heading off to Mist trail via the John Muir Trail (on snowshoes if conditions warrant) you will experience two of Yosemite's famous waterfalls, Vernal Falls and Nevada Falls . Once we reach the peak we will stop and have our lunch on the trail. We return back to the van around 3:00pm and check out the visitor center and Yosemite falls. After exploring some of what Yosemite has to offer, we will eat dinner at Yosemite Lodge before heading back to The Bug and relax.
