Embark on a guided snowshoe tour through the old growth forests on the lower flanks of North America’s seventh-largest ski resort. Join local author and historian Glenn Voelz for the hour-and-half interpretive tour that discusses Mount Bachelor's natural and cultural history while exploring the spectacular alpine scenery. The tour covers a two-mile route that gently climbs to a stunning high point for sunset, traverses to capture breathtaking views of the Three Sisters Wilderness, pauses for a trailside hot chocolate break, and returns to the Nordic Lodge as dusk descends upon the snowy landscape. Enjoy light snacks and conversation as you warm up by the cozy wood stove. Additional food and beverages are available for purchase. Be sure to bring a headlamp!
