Winter temperatures are often in the 50's by mid day—a very comfortable trekking level. Wear sturdy waterproof boots, as the ground and trails are likely to be wet. Many lodging properties might have unstated, but fairly liberal winter/weather cancellation policies. Have this discussion with your innkeeper when planning winter travel. Traveling to Yosemite National Park in the winter is also a time of year that you might not even need reservations, or can secure same day reservations and not risk a weather related cancellation. Be Whimsical!

Yosemite in the winter is absolutely
beautiful and very accessible. In the four month period that seems to
define most of our winter, there are really only a dozen or so really bad
driving days for getting into the valley. The thing is, we just don't know
which dozen days these will be. Those traveling this area with airline
reservations have a trickier time making Yosemite plans, but those who
live in the San Francisco bay area, Sacramento or any of our
neighboring communities who can plan their Yosemite trips based on good
weather should be coming up! If you wait two to three days after a good
snow fall, the roads will be fairly clear, the skies brilliantly
blue and the trip most
memorable!
