What to Bring:
Be prepared for cold temperatures as we will be spending approximately 2-3 hours on the trails and away from our cozy vehicles. Remember to layer up with clothing other than cotton; as cotton will absorb sweat and cause your body temperature to drop. Even though it will be cold, you will be surprised by the work out snowshoeing will provide. Below is a list of items you should bring each week:
- Winter Gloves
- Winter Boots–waterproof and insulated
- 2 quarts of water
- Snacks
- Extra clothing
- Beanie or other type of hat
- Sunglasses and sunscreen
- Small backpack
