Description

Snowshoe in Glacier National Park with guides that will teach you the history and wonders of winter in Glacier. Your journey begins at the Lake McDonald Lodge parking area, near the Sperry Trailhead (Saturday's meeting location is in Colombia Falls). Your friendly Glacier Institute staff will guide you as you slip on snowshoes and venture to the trailhead, offering fascinating insights into snow science and the remarkable adaptations of the animals in winter. Keep an eye out for tracks and listen to stories of indigenous people who call this place home.

After a 2.5 to 4 mile snowshoe we'll gather back at the parking lot for a well-deserved cup of hot chocolate. By the end of the program, you'll have a newfound appreciation for the winters in Glacier Park and the history of this beautiful place.
