How To Visit And Snowshoe Mariposa Grove In Winter

Situated in the southern section of Yosemite National Park, Mariposa Grove offers some of the best wilderness trails that stay open for hiking and snowshoeing in the winter months.  

Mariposa Grove Trail Overview

In the summer when the days are longer, it’s possible to hike any of these available trails. But in the winter with the colder weather, deeper snow, and shorter days, most people hike either the Big Trees Loop or the Grizzly Giant Loop Trail.
