It’s time to strap on your snowshoes for some winter fun! Beginning Saturday, January 5, 2008 rangers will lead beginner-level snowshoe ecology walks on Saturdays, Sundays, and Wednesdays throughout the winter.
These two-hour programs begin at 12:30 p.m. and explore the natural world of a sub-alpine forest while introducing participants to snowshoeing skills and winter safety. Participants must bring their own snowshoes, while ski poles can be helpful. There is no charge for these programs; however a park entrance fee is required.

Details of the tour, including location, will be given at the time the reservation is made. There is a limit of six people per reservation. Children under 8 are not allowed for reasons of safety. Sleds, skiers, hikers and children in backpacks are also not allowed.
