Yosemite Winter Itinerary – Your Complete Guide
Yosemite National Park is the sixth most visited National Park in the United States, but nearly 90% of its visitors visit between spring and fall and most never explore beyond the Yosemite Valley. We admit that Yosemite Valley is the park’s star attraction, but it’s completely accessible throughout the year. Winter is, without a doubt, the best time to visit this area if you’re looking to beat the crowds.
