BASS LAKE — The Pines Resort at beautiful Bass Lake recently debuted the Bass Lake Rink, a Glice skating rink to add even more winter fun in the area! What is Glice, you may ask? It is an artificial ice surface which makes skating accessible even on days when the temperature is warmer.
At Tenaya Lodge at Yosemite take a spin on the outdoor, covered ice rink with three skating sessions daily, then warm up by the fire with a hot beverage. Make your visit to Yosemite National Park even more special by gliding below Half Dome at the Curry Village Ice Skating Rink, a winter staple since 1928.
