Full Moon Snowshoe Walks

Full Moon Snowshoe Walks at Yosemite

Full Moon Snowshoe Walk

A white expanse of snow blanketing the hills, the moon creeping up through the silhouettes of pines, and the stars twinkling overhead all set the scene for our guided Full Moon Snowshoe Walks. The walks wind through the forest to a ridge where the moon will be rising over a multitude of peaks. Survival of plants and animals as well as lunar folklore are discussed during this Yosemite night snowshoeing.
