TOUR DESCRIPTIONS

Our most popular program! A great introduction to winter ecology. Have you ever wondered how trees and animals survive under a blanket of snow?

Nature Games
K-5
Be prepared to have fun! Participate in nature-focused games on snowshoes while learning some of the incredible characteristics of a winter ecosystem. Just as younger animals play games to practice skills needed to survive in the mountain environment, we too can learn mountain life skills through play.
