The first event took place at Oxbow Nature Study Area. I asked each participant t

Visiting Yosemite just after it snows is a magical experience 🙌🏼 if visiting must stop by Mariposa Grove of giant sequoias - bring snowshoes and expect a LONG day (think 6-10 miles depending off what you want to see). But you’ll be so happy you went 😍 Yosemite National Park
