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 roast a s’more while the Naturalist teaches you the love language of a variety of animals. Snowshoes are provided. No snowshoe experience is needed. A hike will be substituted if there is not enough snow to use snowshoes. We will remain outdoors for the entire program and social distancing will be required between groups. Fee is per person. Register early, this event sells out every year!
