When we do finally get some snow, a good destination for your snow camp trip is the south rim with spectacular views across the valley and up valley. Leave from Badger Pass where they stop plowing the road. Dewey Point is about 3.5 miles from Badger Pass. If you go the 10.5 miles to Glacier Pt along the road, then skis might be a better option. They convert the GP visitor center to a lodge in the off season so you can make reservations to stay there, but it books up.
We've done easy family snowshoe hikes with the kids around Badge Pass and it was really special. This overnight trip to the rim has been on my bucket list for years. Hope you can make it, if so, post some photos.
