We hiked Mariposa Grove Trail in Yosemite National park during winter
The road to mariposa grove is closed during winter. So we parked at the welcome plaza, put on our gaiters, and headed down the Washburn trail.
We didn’t put on micro spikes but packed them just in case.
After about 2 miles we finally made it to the start of the Mariposa Grove Trail. We were instantly greeted by the giant Sequoias.
Our goal was to hike up to Wawona point while enjoying the amazing land marks along the way. We’ve done this hike in other seasons but seeing it covered in snow made it feel like we were visiting for the first time.
We regret not bringing snow shoes because the high levels of snow made the hike a bit more strenuous.
The gaiters did a good job of keeping the snow out of our boots and keeping our feet dry.
Five hours into our hike the fog started to roll in and temperatures were dropping so we decided to turn back.
We hiked down the main road instead of going down Washburn trail.
We hiked a total of 10.5 miles by the time we got back to the car.
Overall this was such a fun hike and we will definitely go again during winter!
