Our hike will vary depending on the season, but we typically visit either an alpine lake or a historic ranch with structures dating back over 100 years. We’ll drive approximately an hour and a half past Nederland to reach the trailhead deep in the Rockies. The hike covers 4 to 4.5 miles. For a closer and easier option near Denver, we offer a 3.5-mile hike around a bison preserve. This trail not only provides stunning views but also gives you a chance to see bison up close if they're near the fence. Depending on trail conditions, we may use microspikes instead of snowshoes. Microspikes can be easier to manage over time and are provided at no extra cost. We also supply hiking poles and gaiters to keep snow out of your boots. We'll enjoy a sandwich, snacks, and chips on the trail before heading back downhill to the van for the return drive to Denver. Snowshoeing is a fun way to explore winter landscapes, and I know some of the best spots. With trails covered in snow and lacking markings, having a guide ensures you stay on track and enjoy a safe adventure. Hope to see you soon!
