Yosemite National Park is one of our favorite hiking destinations in the entire world. While hiking in Yosemite is quite popular in the warm summer months, winter in Yosemite is something truly magical. On this particular warm winter day in Yosemite, we set out to blaze our own trail through the snow on a route no hiker had yet attempted all winter: the Yosemite Falls to El Capitan traverse. The normal hike to Yosemite Falls is absolutely glorious any time of year, but we were up for a challenge and so from the falls we opted to continue onward another 3 miles to Eagle Peak, which offers some of the best views of Yosemite Valley in the whole park! From Eagle Peak we threw on the snowshoes and fought our way through the slushy snow all the way to the summit of El Capitan. Wow - Yosemite, hiking, snowshoeing, insane views, and no one else around? This traverse turned out to be everything a hiker dreams of and more!
