Join us for a snow-filled adventure in the heart of the Deschutes National Forest! The cascade mountains that build Bend’s backdrop typically receive 400-600 inches of fluffy snow during the winter. With snowshoes on our feet, we will journey through an old-growth forest of hemlock and fir, splashing through powder and immersing ourselves in the winter wonderland of Central Oregon! During the adventure, your naturalist guide will highlight animal tracks we may come across, enliven you with stories of native history, and touch on the immense importance of a healthy snowpack to our local ecosystem. Snowshoeing is truly the best way to observe nature in the winter! Traveling on snowshoes, you will be able to get a glimpse of how the native wildlife in Central Oregon have adapted to the deep snow, perhaps stumbling upon the tracks of a fox or pine marten. We will also take a quick rest to enjoy hot cocoa amidst the snow & mountains. Our Snowshoe tours are great fun for the whole family!

Q&A

Q: Can kids participate in the snowshoe tour, and what’s the age limit?

A: Yes! Kids can definitely participate in the snowshoe tour. There’s no strict age limit, but it's recommended for kids aged 6 and up. Just keep in mind that younger kids might need a little help with their snowshoes, and it’s best to check the snow conditions ahead of time, especially if you think they might be a bit of a struggle in deep snow.

Q: What happens if the weather is bad on the day of the tour?

A: If the weather is really bad, they’ll usually reschedule the tour for you. Just give them a call or shoot them an email to check your options. They prioritize safety, so if the conditions aren’t right, they’ll let you know. It's always best to stay updated a day or two before your tour.

Q: Do I need to bring my own gear or do they provide everything?

A: They provide everything you need for the snowshoe tour! You just need to wear warm clothing, good winter boots, and maybe bring your own water if you like. The hot cocoa is included too, so that’s a bonus! Just dress in layers since you might get warm while hiking.

Thinking of gifting a snowshoe tour in Bend! Has anyone done it?

I'm looking for a fun gift for my partner's birthday and came across this guided snowshoe tour in Bend. The whole idea of trekking through the snow-filled forests sounds amazing! Does anyone know how physically demanding it is? I don’t want to scare my partner away if they’re not super fit. Also, how’s the hot cocoa? Gotta make sure that’s on point for a birthday treat!

Just did the snowshoe tour and it was epic!

I went on the guided snowshoe tour last weekend and it was incredible! The views in the Deschutes National Forest were unreal. Our guide knew so much about the wildlife and the stories of the area. Plus, the hot cocoa halfway through really hit the spot after trekking through the snow. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for a unique winter experience!
