Yosemite is my favorite national park in the U.S. Thank goodness it is a little over 3 hours away. Winter closes Tioga Pass and Glacier Point Road. This Saturday I was excited to try cross country skiing for the 1st time. I got to Badger Pass Parking Lot early, as I had no clue how long 21 miles of cross country skiing would take.

At times easy, at times very challenging, cross country skiing was a fun new adventure. As you weave through the forest the anticipation grows as you know that spectacular views lie ahead. In the summer one can drive out to Glacier Point...however in the winter time a 21 mile round trip is needed to obtain the spectacular views of Half Dome and the snow-covered valley.

Lunch at Glacier Point with a few hearty souls was terrific. The fresh snow blanketed the Yosemite Valley and high country. A very full, yet rewarding day trying a new sport for the 1st time!
