It's a matter of fact, that visiting Yosemite and Bass Lake is always a good idea. No matter the season, the south gate of Yosemite is beautiful and has a variety of activities to offer year round. If your summer was  too busy to take time off and get away, now is the time to start planning your fall trip. One of the first things that you will notice is how serene the area really is. Time seems to slow down. The atmosphere is much more quiet and allows for the wildlife to come out to explore. They too no longer need to compete with crowds. If you are not a fan of touristy places you probably skipped visiting Yosemite in Summer on purpose (due to traffic, cost, crowds). Autumn will be perfect for you!  Read more...

Vacations and family getaways do not need to be limited to only the summer months. Off- season months (which for Bass Lake are January through March) will let you "play like a local". You will truly be able to experience the area to the fullest. Winter in the Yosemite-Bass Lake area is, without question, an amazing experience to behold! You should consider yourself lucky if you arrive to a Winter Wonderland. You will be able to play in the snow and enjoy winter activities. Typically though, the weather is rather mild. You could enjoy local hiking trails, parks, and more without the crowds of tourists that fill that region the rest of the year. If you want to see a side of Bass Lake and Yosemite that few people besides locals ever get to enjoy, winter is the perfect time to visit. Read more...
