Snowshoe Hike

Tundra Tours invites you to experience a guided snowshoe hike in Rocky Mountain National Park. In the winter you can still get to many sub-alpine lakes and deep into the Park. You can have a bluebird day or deep clouds and snow; all in one-day! We offer experienced guides to help you stay warm and dry, provide the right equipment for the conditions, and get the most out of your winter vacation!

This is considered a “3/4 day” hike. This hike will be approximately 6-8 hours round-trip, (time estimate includes check-in, driving to/from trailhead, breaks, and approximately 4-5 hours of actual hiking).  We will hike approximately 6 – 12 miles round trip.

 

Requirements: This hike is for those who are active and comfortable at altitude and not experiencing any altitude sickness such as headaches or lethargy. You must be comfortable hiking in various terrains, such as in dry, wet, and/or or snowy trail conditions and are injury free.
