This tour for women includes snowshoes, trekking poles, and a knowledgeable and experienced guide who will show you how to use the gear and provide an unforgettable snowshoeing experience.
We’ll visit 4 mountain lakes each with their unique charm and beauty. Along the trail, there will be stunning views of the iconic Long’s Peak at 14,156 ft above sea level. While at Emerald Lake we'll take in the breathtaking views of Hallett Peak (over 12,000 ft) and Tyndall Glacier. Even though we’ll return to the trailhead the same way we came, we'll get a different perspective of the trail and it will be equally as inspiring as the way we came.
What's Included
Meeting and pickup
Meet in the parking lot of in front of the Veterans Memorial next to the river. I'll be in my grey Mazda CX5 SUV. I'll ask that you then follow me in your vehicle to the trailhead which is about a 30 minute drive one way. Each participant will be required to sign an acknowledgment of risks form.
The tour begins and ends at the Bear Lake Trailhead. I meet customers at the visitor's center as a courtesy since the TH is in a very remote area with no cell service.
