Snowshoeing
Strap on some snowshoes and take hiking to the next level. Take in the towering red hoodoos at Bryce Canyon, which is turned into a winter fairytale with a sprinkling of snow. Wrap up warm and head out at night time on a moonlit hike, led by experienced rangers. Head up Bear Lake Trailhead in Estes Park, Colorado, for a breathtaking view of the frozen bowl-shaped Emerald Lake with the 12,713-foot Hallett Peak towering over the water. Go off the beaten track by heading to Castle Rocks State Park in Southern Idaho. Known for its unique rock formations and otherworldly sunsets, visitors can snowshoe past historic ranches, ancient pictograms, snowbanks overhanging the creek and hear the calls of mountain chickadees.
