After fresh snow, the unexciting Central Yosemite Highway (CA-140) turns into a Winter Wonderland! Stop here on your way to Yosemite National Park to get your annual snowy drone shot.
(as long as you're not around Yosemite National Park, it is legal to fly a drone)

I took this look down view of Central Yosemite Highway (California State Route 140) on the way to Yosemite National Park.
The GPS coordinate will route you to a pull-out along the highway, though you can stop anywhere along the highway leading up to the park entrance for a legal aerial shot of a perfect split in the road.
After parking, send your drone up while sitting comfy in your heated car!
Also, be sure to check the weather before heading out. If there is a blizzard, it might be dangerous and the road might not yet be plowed.
