Tuolumne Meadows Campgrounds is closed for the season.

And snow at Yosemite National Park is forecast today. Winter is most beautiful at Yosemite Valley. Not just because of the super tender and delicious lamb chop at Ahwahnee Hotel (now Majestic?).

So I would go, at least once. We've been there three times. And once you are on the trails, you will often be alone.

Same for Yellowstone. Same for Yosemite. Very popular because they are great.
