Freshly fallen snow dusting towering peaks. A waterfall that looks like lava. Yosemite in winter is a whole new park! In winter, Yosemite transforms from a stunning world of rock and pine to a winter wonderland that looks like something out of a fantasy novel. A hush falls over the park as animals hibernate, and the ivory forests and mirror-like rivers draw you into a peaceful winter embrace.
Winter in Yosemite is snowy and cold, and sunny but chilly days are common. In good years, waterfalls thunder and serenity falls over the valley. Winter in Yosemite is quiet and magical.
The following photo essay gives a glimpse into this wondrous winter wonderland.
