Take in these winter months with a road trip to beautiful Yosemite National Park. Yosemite is one of the most iconic and picturesque national parks in California and has been made famous by photographer Ansel Adams.

Yosemite is gorgeous year round; however, a great time of year to visit is during winter. There are fewer visitors crowding around the most popular destinations and you still get to enjoy those breathtaking views. Regardless if there is snow on the valley floor or it happens to be a dry winter, Yosemite will not disappoint.

Hike along one of the many trails that wind their way across the valley floor, or visit some of Yosemite's many waterfalls that run even during the driest winters (the Yosemite, Bridalveil, and Vernal Falls are pretty spectacular).

Often times, the colder weather prompts cozier activities that allow visitors to have a low-key trip and just sit back, relax and enjoy the grandeur of Yosemite National Park.
