About the snowshoe and what to expect: For this intro to snowshoeing hike, we will help you strap on snowshoes and float on the snow. We will start at the trailhead, reviewing gear basics and helping everyone get acclimated with their equipment. From there, we’ll set off on a packed trail to get used to walking in snowshoes on a relatively even surface. After we’ve built up our confidence, we’ll leave the trail and start trudging around in the snow. On the powder, you will experience the feeling of floating in the snow. We will snowshoe up to 3 miles at a leisurely pace.
Cost:
$45 if you bring snowshoes
$60 if you need to rent a pair
