Yosemite Winter Wonderland

Over President's weekend Kevin and I finally made it Yosemite again. The first night we stayed a couple miles outside the El Portal entrance at Yosemite View Lodge. We got upgraded to the a river-view room with a balcony. It was a little too chilly to fully enjoy but this is the view from the balcony!

The next day we drove into the park and did the obligatory stop at Tunnel View.


We drove up the snowy Glacier Point road to the Dewey Point trailhead. We strapped on our snowshoes and started the 3 1/2 mile trek to the point. Luckily a path was already blazed into the deep snow.

The trail wasn't too crowded so we were surprised to see about 80+ people at the end of the trail. Not too surprising when we reached the view though! From Dewey Point you can see all the way to Half Dome and the valley and you're directly across from El Capitan.

On the way back our legs started to hurt and at one point we took a break to stretch our legs on trail.

And then mid-stretch Kevin dropped to a knee and asked me to marry him. And I said yes :-)
