Fall/Winter - Snowshoeing

If You Can Walk, You Can Snowshoe

If you can walk, you can snowshoe. Imagine crossing Mills Lake as the ice shimmers in the sunshine. Hike in the creek bed on the way to the Loch. After the day's activities relax in the enchantment of Estes Park. An intimate dinner, a log on the fire, and gently falling snow- it doesn't get any better than this.

How do you get started?

It's easy. Rent a great pair of snowshoes and poles at and all other equipment needed at many great locations in Estes Park.

What do I wear?

You want to dress warm, but there is a difference between snowshoeing and a sport such as alpine skiing. Snowshoeing is very aerobic so you'll probably start sweating on the ascent. Cotton should not be worn against the skin as once it's wet, it stays wet. Thin wicking layers that can be taken off or added are best. For your outer shell and pants, use the same ones you use in the summer over warm long underwear. And don't forget a hat, gloves, sunscreen, and sunglasses. If you don't have what you need- no problem. The Warming House has it all.

Estes Park is filled with things to do. To start an adventure vacation of your own, please view our vacation rentals any time of the year!
