"A lot of people drive by the El Cap meadow and admire it from their car window, or park and take a quick picture in it and then drive away. But one of my FAVORITE activities to do whenever I'm in Yosemite is to spend some time in the meadow. In the summer, I normally bring a bottle of wine, snacks, a picnic blanket, and binoculars and look for rock climbers climbing the famous slab.
Since you're planning to visit in the winter, I recommend bringing some gloves and building a snowman! The meadow is usually empty of other people in the winter, so you should have plenty of space to play around."
