A Great
Easy Adventure
|
|
What You Will Do: Snowshoes allow you to cruise through
the woods since most of the underbrush and debris on the forest
floor is buried under the snow. The hardpack or powder is difficult
to impossible to walk in, but the snowshoes either pack out a trail, or stay on top and
we can go just about anywhere with the greatest of ease. Trails
not required.
Trip is interpretive, so you learn about nature too!
Bring your cameras!
Wear
layers of clothing with wind jackets, wool hats, mittens/gloves,
ski goggles if blustery, scarves/neck-up, wind pants etc. Bulky
winter coats may be too warm. Small day pack helpful for carrying
extra sweater, water bottle, snack.

Hi Crede - This is Judi Schiff. I enjoyed my
snow shoeing adventure on
Sunday and so did my daughter! Thanks! Judi
Hi Crede,
Kim & I had a GREAT time Sunday! It was a beautiful day
& the hike was awesome. We especially loved the falls
& the quiet of the woods. It was great for novices &
even though we weren't too sure about crossing that bridge...we
were glad we made it without falling in! If we are able to
return next year, we will be sure to call you for another
hike. Take care~
Cindy Geary
