Join us to explore the gorgeous Pikes Peak area in the winter--while it's covered in snow! We will guide you on the south side of Pikes Peak with a view over the Cripple Creek valley.
This is a beginner level snowshoeing activity. However, the trail is on the challenging side of moderate yet accessible to most people at a reasonable fitness level. You will provide snowshoes & poles (local Colorado Springs outfitters can supply you if you do not own your own equipment.) We will provide all the necessary education and tips for you to snowshoe and have a fun outdoors winter adventure! Your guide has significant snowshoeing experience to ensure an exciting AND safe adventure for you--with many fun stories to share, winter ecology, and winter survival skills plus much more!
During the hike we will also provide you with tips on destinations in town and useful information for your future hiking and snowshoeing plans.
