Guided Snowshoeing at Snoqualmie Pass

Queer Mountaineers will join the Forest Service on the Grand Discovery snowshoe walk at Snoqualmie Pass. Snowshoes will be provided. This snowshoe walk takes about 1.5-2 hours and travels about 1 mile winding through rich old-growth forest. Elevated up on the snowpack, you'll experience the impressive middle-canopy of the trees. You’ll have the opportunity to look for signs of wildlife, like snowshoe hare tracks in the snow, or birds in tree dwellings. Each discovery tells us a new story in this vibrant mountain habitat. We'll guide you through this winter walk at a moderate pace featuring winter ecology facts that you can share with your friends and family.

Bring a lunch as we will reconvene at the Pass Life after our snowshoe adventure. Hot cocoa will be provided!
