Ranger-guided nature programs on snowshoes
Snowshoe walks are usually offered at Wuksachi Lodge and Grant Grove on Saturdays and holidays when conditions permit. The park provides snowshoes free for the two-hour, one-mile walk. Group size is limited, so reserve your place at any visitor center or by calling 559-565-4480 for the Wuksachi walk and 559-565-4307 for the Grant Grove walk.

If there is not enough snow, rangers will provide an alternate program.

Note: snowshoeing may be strenuous and difficult for small children.

Cross-country skiing
If there is sufficient snow, many areas of the park may be accessed by skis. Cross-country skis are available for rent at Wuksachi Lodge and Grant Grove Market. Please avoid residential areas, plowed roads, and other areas as signed.

It is located 3/8 of a mile north of Pear Lake at 9,200 feet (2804 meters) and is reached by ascending a steep six miles of trail from Wolverton Meadow (7,200 feet). This advanced level ski/snowshoe trail offers a chance to explore the beautiful wilderness of the Sierra Nevada mountains in winter. The hut sleeps 10 people and is heated by a wood pellet stove (pellets provided). Fee is $22 per night, per person. more...
