About this Experience

What you'll do:

Snowshoeing through Summit County’s backcountry in winter offers a peaceful and scenic escape into nature, with soft powder trails and stunning mountain views. It’s an easy-to-learn activity that suits all fitness levels and can be either a relaxing outing or a high-energy cardio adventure. Guests can choose from a variety of routes, including tranquil meadows, shaded canyons, or more challenging treks to elevated winter viewpoints. One of the best parts of snowshoeing is the quiet beauty—walking through snowy forests while sunlight sparkles on the snow creates a magical experience. Guided tours are tailored to your group’s preferences and fitness level, ensuring a fun, safe, and personalized adventure. Half-day tours are available daily, and all snowshoes and poles are provided.

  • Customizable pace and routes let groups choose between relaxing nature walks or more intense winter hikes.

  • No experience needed, making it inclusive and accessible for families, friends, or mixed-ability groups.

  • Peaceful and scenic environment offers a unique bonding experience in Colorado’s snowy backcountry beauty.
