    About this experience

    Snowshoeing in Yosemite is an amazing experience! It is an easy sport to learn and offers you the chance to get into the less-traveled winter wonderland that the Yosemite backcountry becomes. For those looking to fully embrace all winter has to offer, head up to the high country and snowshoe from the Badger Pass Ski Resort to Dewey Point, an incredible outcropping that offers expansive views of the Yosemite Valley, including the towering El Capitan.

    Personalized Yosemite Winter Adventure!

    Fantastic multi-day snowshoeing backpacking adventure, my third time with LA. Yosemite in winter is utterly amazing. Thank you to Scott for making it happen, in a narrow window of opportunity given the winter weather of 2023. Kara was an incredible guide - great knowledge and insights on Yosemite, route selection suited to preferences, wonderful food (more cookies, please!), and all-around fun. Highly recommend LA!!

    Response from the operator: Thanks for the great review and glad everything went well. Seeya later this summer! -Scott

    We Snow Shoed

    When you get here, you are pretty much away from the main area of hiking. We arrived early for snow shoeing. The trail for snow shoeing is to the left of the chair lifts. The snow condition was sparse but we managed to get a workout. From the bottom of the lift to the top is a little over a mile where you can see the first glimpse of the valley. Then you can continue and circle the trail and end up below on the right side of the chair lifts. Here, they have lodge to get food but very limited selection. After lunch, it snowed for a bit and we got to touch and feel the snow. It was a very exhilarating day after the snow shoeing.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for leaving this review about your snow-shoe adventure in Yosemite and excited you enjoyed the day. Unfortunately it does not look like you did this activity with us; Lasting Adventures. By leaving this 4-star review on our Lasting Adventures 5-star profile; you are actually lowering our TripAdvisor ranking. Please remove this review and place this review under "Badger Pass" or "Dewey Point" in Yosemite rather than on our companies profile. Thank you. - Scott

    Dewey Point ... what an amazing view of El Capitan and Yosemite Valley!

    We were a high school group doing the snowshoeing adventure from Badger Pass to Dewey Point. Lasting adventures was great to work with Highlights of working with this company were how knowledgeable the guides were of Yosemite (e.g. being familiar with the trails, knowing the names of peaks, suggestions of hikes to do, etc.). They were also very organized with the gear and meals they provided, as well as the activities they had planned for our group. The guides were also very friendly with our students and took a genuine interest in getting to know them. They were professional and cooperative in working with us adults too. Lastly, the preparation leading up the trip (e.g. going through med forms, communicating packing lists, etc.) was very well done.

    Private Snowshoeing Adventure from Badger Pass to Dewey Point: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Yosemite National Park.

    How much does Private Snowshoeing Adventure from Badger Pass to Dewey Point cost?

    +

    Prices start at $360 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Yosemite National Park usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Private Snowshoeing Adventure from Badger Pass to Dewey Point take?

    +

    Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Yosemite National Park is not rushed.

    Is Private Snowshoeing Adventure from Badger Pass to Dewey Point worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 3 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Yosemite National Park, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Private Snowshoeing Adventure from Badger Pass to Dewey Point?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Private Snowshoeing Adventure from Badger Pass to Dewey Point suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Private Snowshoeing Adventure from Badger Pass to Dewey Point?

    +

    Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Yosemite National Park can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Yosemite National Park and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Private Snowshoeing Adventure from Badger Pass to Dewey Point start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Yosemite National Park within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Yosemite National Park?

    +

    Yosemite tours cover Valley loops to El Capitan and Half Dome viewpoints, Glacier Point sunsets, Mariposa Grove sequoias and waterfall hikes in spring melt. Day trips from San Francisco run long, so we weight transparency on drive time. On Outty we rank every Yosemite National Park experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Yosemite Highlights Small Group Tour, Yosemite Valley Private Hiking Tour, Yosemite Winter Highlights Small Group Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Yosemite National Park?

    +

    May to June for waterfalls, September to October for quiet trails. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Yosemite National Park?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
