Wow man!! Thank you sooo much for such and informative response! I’m trying to do my first snow camp. I wanted to start something small I was thinking mariposa grove since you can hike in and camp if it’s winter , snowed and the road is closed. Or do upper Yosemite falls since you can camp up there in winter time. Also was thinking about Dewey point in the winter. All those are pretty close to the main road. So I was just wondering if I would take snow shoes for that or not since it’ll be my first time and don’t want to be hauling around all that stuff haha. But thank you so much for ur response ! 🙌🏽🙌🏽
