Naturalist-Guided Snowshoe Programs
Snowshoe with your Sweetie
Sunday, February 10 from 11:30 am-1:30 pm
Take a guided snowshoe hike through the snow covered forest with your valentine. Listen to the crunch of snow and maybe even the hoot of owls, while you experience the magic of a winter walk. After exploring the forest with your sweetie, get cozy by the campfire and enjoy hot cocoa while cooking your lunch over the fire with gourmet ingredients provided by Trader Joe's. Snowshoes are provided. No snowshoe experience is needed. A hike will be substituted if there is not enough snow to use snowshoes. Fee is per person. Register early, this event sold out last year!
