If winter fun is what makes you happy, Go Wild has the hike for you! Our Rocky Snowshoe Day-Hike gets you into the Park during the off-season, allows for off-trail fun, and provides one of the more unique ways to experience the wonderful Rocky Mountains. Snowshoeing is surprisingly innate- almost all hikers learn within a few minutes and are naturals by the end of the day. We will “shoe” over snow covered meadows and frozen-solid lakes, and we’ll likely see elk, big horns and other nature surprises- from a safe distance of course! Rocky Mountain snow is light and fluffy- it’s what makes Rocky powder amazing, and why Estes Park is a world class winter destination! Plus, Go WIld guides are locals and know all the “secret” locations for a great day on the snow!

Bear Lake Trailhead to Emerald Lake

We will start our Rockies hiking adventure by meeting at your hotel, then take a short drive to our starting trailhead. We’ll distribute snacks and check snowshoe fit- and practice a bit if necessary- before beginning our glide across the snow. A slow pace is the key to fun, and we’ll stop regularly for warm drinks and photos.
