Yosemite Winter 2020

The scenery around Yosemite leaves me breathless. Inspiring waterfalls and rock formations that leave you wondering how on Earth could they have been created so beautifully. There's obviously geological reasoning that occured over millions of years behind this but whatever you know what I mean.
Yosemite Falls
Visiting Yosemite Valley in the winter has its pros and cons. Pros: less people, more campsites, it's quieter, the snow, and the clouds look cool around the mountains. Cons: less access to roads such as mariposa grove or glacier point, less water on waterfalls, little water on the river, and the roads could be slippery or full of snow depending on the weather. Luckily, we didn't incur harsh weather. (Actually, one day was super cloudy and the next day was super sunny)
Hodgdon Meadows - behind the campsites
This is a simple 2 day itinerary for Yosemite that consists of no hiking and staying in the valley. Leaving plenty of time to enjoy picnics or relaxing by your campsite amongst the trees. Tip: Hodgdon Meadows is a first come-first serve campsite during fall-winter, I highly recommend it, there is always a lot of space!

Not included in these pictures were views of El Capitan, playing in the snow, or even walking on the swinging bridge. Whether you're coming here for a week or a day, fall, winter, or summer, Yosemite is a wonderful sight to see. Just look at me and Felix gazing at Yosemite Falls :)
