Will you provide snowshoes?
Yes, snowshoes and hiking poles are provided for the tour. The snowshoes strap onto your own winter boots.
Is this on the same path as the Morning Hike?
No, this tour usually takes a different route. On rare occasions, we may use the same trail due to weather or snow conditions.
How difficult is this hike?
This experience is slightly more challenging than the Morning Hike because you’ll be wearing snowshoes, and the hike goes to a view point that is located on top of a big hill, but it is generally suitable for anyone who can walk a few kilometers.
