When: Saturday, February 21 at 1PM
Please arrive at the trailhead 5-10 minutes before our start time, so we can begin promptly at 1PM.
*This event repeats at different trailheads on the third Saturday of each month*
Where: Independence Mine winter access
About the hike and what to expect: We’ll be snowshoeing at a leisurely pace for 1.5-3 miles (conditions pending). We will mostly follow the road to Independence Mine but might also get off the road into deeper snow. The difficulty of our snowshoeing events can vary greatly based on conditions. We will stick together as a group during the adventure.
At the trailhead, we will review snowshoeing basics. Then we’ll head out on the snow. If you're a more experienced snowshoer, consider joining and partnering with a new snowshoer at the event.
After the event, we’ll enjoy hot drinks at the trailhead.
🥾 Mileage: Approximately 2-3 miles
🥾 Elevation Gain: About 500-1,000 feet depending on our route
