NOTES: Program is held outdoors. Dress warmly for outdoor winter conditions. Snowshoe walk/ski is self-guided at your leisure.
Remember a headlamp or flashlight as some portions of the trail can be dark.
Bring along your snowshoes or skis. Some portions of trail may be walkable in just snow boots. A limited number of snowshoes will be available for check-out at the Jacob V. Brower Visitor Center on a first come-first served basis.
Bring your own hotdogs, thermos of hot chocolate, marshmallows, and snacks for enjoying around the outdoor campfire before or after the walk (don't forget your roasting stick).
If snow conditions are poor, the event will become a snow boot walk.
