My wife purchased me a 2 hour snowshoeing experience and we went on January 30th, 2021. The experience was top shelf from the time we entered the shop until we got back 2.5 hours later. Our guide Tyler was incredible with tips, local knowledge and experience that made the morning unforgettable. Also a must is the curry beef grilled cheese when you get back. I look forward to getting out again in the near future.Firstly, Dana our guide was Fantastic, Very social and So informative! Once Dana provided us with basic snowshoeing 101 tutelage, we were off.

Firstly, Dana our guide was Fantastic, Very social and So informative! Once Dana provided us with basic snowshoeing 101 tutelage, we were off. The trail for first time snowshoer’s was great, a nice and easy light workout (our group age range 63 to 24). The view points on the trail were incredible, a welcoming break from the craziness of our current urban/suburban life style. Simply to say, we are still talking about our 2 hour snowshoeing adventure with tour guide Dana and are looking forward to doing it Again! Ask for Dana her bright personality adds to the beautiful two hour adventure and she’s is tons of fun!Affordable rentals in the most beautiful surroundings you could ask for!
