Winter Snowshoe Ecology Walks
Discover what it takes to survive in an area that receives over 500 inches of snow and where winter lasts for nine months of the year. Every weekend throughout the winter season park rangers and volunteers will be presenting ecology walks on snowshoes. Various stops are made along the tour route where the ranger will explain how various park animals, trees, and humans adapt to survive in this magnificient winter.
Regularly scheduled walks for the general public are offered at 1 pm on weekends from Thanksgiving to the end of March. Meet the park ranger at the Rim Village Information Desk inside the cafeteria. Walks last approximately 1.5 hours and snowshoes are provided free of charge. Snowshoeing requires little skill, but it is advised that participants be in good physical condition. There is a group limit of 20, and during holidays and school vacations space is limited. Reservations are not taken. Due to the size of the snowshoes, children must be at least nine years old to participate.
