Yosemite's Winter Wonderland
The Snow Creek Falls Trail starts about a mile from one of Yosemite Valley’s most popular destinations, Mirror Lake. This is a very strenuous hike. Most of the climbing is in a section with the highest elevation gain in the shortest distance of any trail out of the valley. The best Season for this hike is July – Mid-October.Which is why we couldn’t make it to the top, we went in March. But did go as far as we could :)
That’s me in my warm winter jacket!

I haven’t hiked Snow Creek Falls at this time of the year. Just the siummer months. Have you heard of the famous Ledge Trail? I hiked that a lot back in the 50’s. I had one of the fastest times from Camo Curry to the Glacier Point Hotel. I love this shot of yours…XXX…Lynn
Mar Silva replied
Hi Lynn, I read all about the famous Ledge Trail…. What an amzing time you were there! We looked it up initially thinking we could possibly go there if this hike didn’t work out…That is is we could have made it! The Ledge Trail MUST HAVE BEEN SO AMAZING.
Did you bring a camera…. maybe you can scan then upload some of your adventures….. Many of my adventures were way before the digital camera age!!!! Not that that gives anyone any clue as to age!
Lol….

Awesome shot! Great angle of capture and having the person in the shot gives it quite the perspective!
Lynn Bawden
It’s me again, Mar. As I was saying, the Ledge Trail was the steepest trail in the park when it was open. It’s been blocked off now for years because of safeth concerns…Lynn

Great image Mar!! You rock girl….memories of my hippy days days in Colorado come flooding back….can we go back in time? Hugs!
Mar Silva replied
Thanks :~) Sure we could go back in time….
I heard if you eat the snow at just the right elevation when the moon is at it’s fullest that is possible. I think it has to be yellow snow sooooo I have never tried it!!!!
