Snowy Yosemite | California Road Trip Day 4 | Oakhurst to Tahoe Scenic Drive | Forest Suites Resort

Join us on Day 4 of our California Road Trip (October 14, 2025) — a magical winter journey from Oakhurst to Yosemite National Park and onward to South Lake Tahoe. ❄️

We began the day at Sierra Forest Ranch, Oakhurst, CA, and after breakfast, we drove into Yosemite National Park, where it started snowing! Our first stop was the breathtaking Tunnel View, followed by Bridalveil Falls, and the iconic Yosemite Valley viewpoints. The sight of snow-covered pine trees and misty mountains made the drive truly unforgettable.

Due to heavy snowfall, the Tioga Pass route was closed, so we rerouted through Sacramento toward South Lake Tahoe. Along the way, we fitted snow chains for safety and continued through stunning snowy landscapes.

By evening, we arrived at Forest Suites Resort, 1 Lake Parkway, South Lake Tahoe, CA 96150, a cozy stay offering covered parking, two-bedroom suites, and kitchen amenities. For dinner, we ordered from Curry & Grill Indian Cuisine, 212 Elks Point Rd, Zephyr Cove, NV 89448, enjoying delicious samosas, pakoras, biryani, and roti while watching the snow fall outside.
