One skier's drought is a potential hiker's gift.
California's current drought has inspired DNC Parks & Resorts at Yosemite, concessionaire at Yosemite National Park, to open its horse stables, normally closed for the winter, and offer trail rides. Similarly, its Glacier Point Ski Hut, which normally accommodates cross-country skiers overnight, will be open to hikers by reservation.
The unusual winter openings could be reversed at any time if Mother Nature resumes seasonal behavior. "We had another dry winter two years ago that allowed us to open the stable and the Glacier Point Hut for hikers," Lisa Cesaro, a spokeswoman for the concessionaire, wrote in an email. "A storm came through shortly after that, when we closed the facilities down. I believe they were open for a week during that season."
Until further notice, Yosemite Valley Stable is offering two-hour guided trail rides to Mirror Lake three times daily for $64 per rider. Conditions permitting, hikers can follow Four-Mile Trail to Glacier Point Ski Hut and spend the night Friday, Saturday, Sunday or Monday in the stone-and-log dormitory across from Half Dome. Self-guided trips, including meals, cost $120.50 per person, with advance registration required.
But if it does snow, and the warm-weather activities stop, another park attraction will open: Badger Pass Ski Area.
