Yosemite Valley Private Winter Hiking Tour in Yosemite National Park booking from $300.00

Yosemite Valley Private Winter Hiking Tour

Overview

Much like in the summer, the Yosemite Valley Floor offers hours of exploration within the more level and easier accessible areas of the Yosemite Valley. In addition to providing you with natural and geological history, this tour will highlight some of the lesser known winter ‘gems’ around the valley. The Yosemite Valley Floor Loop is great for families with younger children and/or families looking for an easier hike but can be customized to be more strenuous if desired.

This is a private tour.

What To Expect

Yosemite Valley

This trip is fully customizable and offers a huge variety of activities to choose from including awesome sight-seeing around Yosemite Valley, as well as short hikes that are accessible to anyone and everyone, even during the winter. This trip can be customized to be more of a leisurely tour or pushed to a longer more moderate hike depending on interest and fitness level. Options for this Yosemite Valley Custom Adventure may include:

Yosemite Falls

Hike to the base of 2425’ tall Yosemite Falls which, under certain weather conditions, features an enormous snow cone at the base. If lucky, clients may also get to watch as snow lightly drops hundreds of feet from the cliffs settling in a pile at the bottom. Frazil Ice is another amazing phenomenon that only occurs this time of year. If the conditions are just right, some of the rivers in Yosemite Valley fill with icy, undulating slush. “Oh My Gosh Point” on the way up the Yosemite Falls Trail for an amazing view of Yosemite Valley.

Ansel Adams Gallery

A variety of museums offer terrific and informative history lessons about Yosemite National Park including the Ansel Adams Gallery, the Art Center and the Yosemite Village Indian Museum.

Vernal Fall

Hike to the top of Vernal and/or Nevada Fall via the John Muir Trail. Great View!

Ahwahnee Historic Building

The famous 5-star Majestic Hotel is always a site to see in the winter as well! We try to make the most out of the day, so please let us know what you would like to see and experience, and we will try to fit all of your recommendations into one jam-packed day of excitement!

We did a tour with Kara today and she was fantastic. Her knowledge of both the history of the park and nature was fantastic! We had a great time and learned a ton.

We had a great time on this tour, our guide was knowledgeable and friendly and he gave us useful advice for the following days. I would highly recommend this tour, especially for people who are new to Yosemite, like ourselves. We were the only ones on this particular tour so the experience was really tailored for us, which was fantastic.
