It hasn&#8217;t snowed here in over ten years and when it did it was a slight sprinkle more than a flurry. The answer? Road trip. Christmas in Yosemite Valley\u00a0would surely bring me the adventurous snowy holiday I was seeking while still keeping me warm in a lodge whilst drinking Hot Toddys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yosemite Valley is the centerpiece of Yosemite National Park in <a href=\"https:\/\/bucketlistjourney.net\/tag\/northern-california\/\">Northern California<\/a> with&nbsp;grand waterfalls, flowing creeks, picturesque hiking and monumental granite cliffs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"gb-block-image gb-block-image-9e649015\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" class=\"gb-image gb-image-9e649015\" src=\"https:\/\/bucketlistjourney.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/IMG_5722-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"Yosemite Valley at Christmas\" title=\"Yosemite Valley at Christmas\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bucketlistjourney.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/IMG_5722-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/bucketlistjourney.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/IMG_5722-800x533-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bucketlistjourney.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/IMG_5722-800x533-140x94.jpg 140w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-accent-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-accent-background-color has-background\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Yosemite Valley Will Surely Bring You a Very White Christmas<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-accent-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-accent-background-color has-background\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Though Yosemite Valley is only a four hour drive from my home in Petaluma, we drove for 3 1\/2 hours without even a hint of snow. Not even one flake. And I wondered if my new snow boots would be worthless. Which was upsetting because they were cute. But, in the last half hour, as we gained elevation,&nbsp;there was the slightest evidence of a white Christmas in Yosemite, a snowy patch on the ground. And ten minutes later, we were turning on the 4wd while windshield wiping away ginormous snowflakes. Ah. Success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-e2fa5b7d gb-headline-text\">How to Spend Christmas in Yosemite Valley<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The first stop was the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.evergreenlodge.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Evergreen Lodge<\/a> which would be our temporary holiday home, just on the outskirts of Yosemite Valley. Hidden away from the crowds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"gb-block-image gb-block-image-1f6da95a\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" class=\"gb-image gb-image-1f6da95a\" src=\"https:\/\/bucketlistjourney.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/IMG_5604-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"Christmas at Evergreen Lodge in Yosemite\" title=\"Evergreen Lodge\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bucketlistjourney.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/IMG_5604-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/bucketlistjourney.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/IMG_5604-800x533-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Peter and I&nbsp;rented a small, cozy cabin with no wifi, cellular&nbsp;bars&nbsp;or television. Quality Christmas time together without everyday distractions. <em>Would we survive?&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As soon as we dropped our luggage off in our quaint cabin we drove a few miles to the Yosemite National Park gates, grateful to have 4WD or else we would have been forking over $75 for chains. Once through the gates it was about 16 miles to Yosemite Valley. Our targeted destination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yosemite Valley has a 14 mile loop and\u00a0is where\u00a0most of\u00a0the action happens.\u00a0Amongst numerous impressive attractions, the area boasts\u00a0the 617 foot\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.nps.gov\/yose\/planyourvisit\/halfdome.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Bridalveil Fall<\/a>,\u00a0a perfect view of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nps.gov\/yose\/planyourvisit\/halfdome.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Half Dome<\/a> and the famous Ahwahnee Hotel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First stop was an easy, but icy, hike to Bridalveil Fall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After ogling the fall for a significant amount of time, we stopped at the <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Swinging_Bridge\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Swinging Bridge<\/a>. It wasn&#8217;t really swinging. But, it was covered in snow and gorgeous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the warmer months this spot is&nbsp;a popular swimming hole. You&#8217;d have to triple dare me (and throw in a couple hundred bucks) to jump in there now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Though the snow and fog kept us from the clearest view of Half Dome, a granite dome over 4737 feet in Yosemite Valley, we still got an acceptable glimpse. Sarcasm. It was stunning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The entire fourteen mile Yosemite Valley loop was filled with incredible scenery. Every tenth of a mile I would be&nbsp;screaming to Peter, &#8220;stop the car. stop. stop! stop.&#8221; or simply just saying &#8220;wow&#8221;.&nbsp;That&nbsp;pretty much explains why Christmas in Yosemite Valley should be on your <a href=\"https:\/\/bucketlistjourney.net\/my-bucket-list\/\">bucket list<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Have you ever been to <a href=\"https:\/\/bucketlistjourney.net\/tag\/northern-california\/\">Northern California&#8217;s<\/a> Yosemite Valley? Where in the World would you like to spend Christmas?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-accent-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-accent-background-color
