Basic Details:

Join UD for two nights of cozy cabin vibes in Yosemite’s Curry Village!

We’ve reserved a series of charming, glamping-style heated tent cabins for the weekend and put together an awesome itinerary that includes exploring the park’s breathtaking winter vistas. We’ll handle the group logistics and all the planning, so you can relax and enjoy the epic scenery. Whether it's beginner friendly snowshoeing that delivers amazing views, or stargazing for the meteor shower, or the delicious group dinner in the village, there is something for everyone!

All you need to do is show up and soak it all in!

 

 

What to Expect at Yosemite's Curry Village: 

Curry Village is cozy and rustic lodging in the heart of Yosemite, offering heated tent cabins with built-in beds. No need to set up or break down any gear—just bring your sleeping bag and pillow, and you’re all set! 

Curry Village is one of the most coveted places to stay inside Yosemite National Park. Located right in the valley, it offers stunning, up-close views of Half Dome and Glacier Point while keeping you warm and comfortable, with all of the accommodations you need. With amenities like excellent dining, coffee shops, and countless nearby trailheads and easy vista points with big pay off, everything we need is just steps away. It's the perfect blend of natural beauty and comfort, making it a sought-after spot for adventurers who want to fully experience Yosemite without giving up convenience.

 

 

Quadrantids Meteor Shower: 

The Quadrantids, one of the year’s most powerful meteor showers, with activity from December 28 to January 12, giving us the chance to see up to 110 meteors per hour. We’ve chosen this weekend specifically because it coincides with a new moon, offering the best possible viewing conditions, making it the perfect time for an unforgettable stargazing experience!

 

 

 

Itinerary:
Subject to change***

Friday: 

Come early if you can, call off work or take a half day, go for it! That way we can enjoy our trip to the fullest! Early evening, we'll settle into our tent cabins and get to know each other around the campfire. Once the sun starts to set, we'll head to the near by delicious restaurant to enjoy dinner, with wine and s'mores for dessert. Please note, this dinner is not included in the price of this event.

 

 

Saturday: 

Your host will be up early getting coffee and tea ready! We will head to grab a yummy breakfast in Curry Village to fuel you up for our day! Please note, this breakfast is not included in the price of this event. We'll start the day with our snowshoe trek. We will prepare a trail lunch of sandwiches and snacks to bring on the snowshoe trek. 

Don't feel like going snowshoeing? Spend the day exploring Yosemite Valley's most famous view points, or ask you host for other activity recommendations in the area.

After the snowshoe trek, we'll head back to our cabins and get ready for dinner at a famous local restaurant. Please note, this dinner is not included in the price of this event. Then back to the tent cabins for our last campfire hangout of the trip :) 

 

Sunday: 

We will start the morning off with a delicious breakfast and coffee in Curry Village. Please note, this breakfast is not included in the price of this event.  We will start packing up our belongings, as our check out is at 11am, but our trip doesn't end there! We'll be taking a short and easy "hike" to Yosemite Falls to view one of the most beautiful waterfalls in California.
