Yosemite Skyway is looking forward to the new year in a peaceful and quiet environment relaxing by the fire, or stepping outside in the winter wonderland onto those skis and zipping off for an exploration onto the Sierra Vista National Scenic Byway - 50 miles of trails right outside the door. Or maybe trying your skill at downhill skiing at the historic Badger Pass in Yosemite - they have a great ski program. Then it will be great to get back to Yosemite Skyway, back to the peace, rest, and relaxation. Or maybe just stay here by the fire with a good book.
That's what's up at Yosemite Skyway Vacation Rentals on the Sierra Vista National Scenic Byway, just off the Southern Yosemite Highway. Almost sounds like a song....
