Imagine your first winter in the mountains. The trail ahead is buried beneath fresh snow, familiar landmarks have vanished, and every step reveals a world transformed. Join us as we explore the forest through the eyes of early pioneers experiencing this landscape for the first time.

Whether you're a first-time snowshoer or a seasoned adventurer, this guided hike invites you to slow down and experience the magic of the season.

No snow? No problem! We'll trade snowshoes for hiking boots and continue our expedition on foot.

Trail Information: This 1.5-mile route winds through conifer forest, sunny clearings, and shaded groves.
