This experience gave me a chance to get close to the winter wild. The walking pace was calm and the guide consistently checked our status. He also introduced fun facts throughout the hike.

What a great experience! My wife and I love to adventure and try new things. We never snowshoed before and thought we would give it a try. Paul was amazing! Rusty and Brooke (Pauls pups) joined us and it was such fun having them join along. The half day (3 hour) trip was perfect. If you’re in the area and looking for something adventurous to do that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg, I highly recommend Snowshoe Tahoe.

BEST EXPERIENCE EVER!!! Our family had the best experience, we even brought our dog. Paul was a great, he showed us the best spots in the area and made sure we enjoyed every second of the hike. I definitely recommend this experience!!!

Ben_L

The tour guide was very friendly, knowledgeable, and ensured everyone was able to keep up. The area that we snowshoed was packed down by the tour guide with a snow mobile the day before so it made the path much easier to get across. I would recommend this tour to anyone who is interested in snowshoeing whether it be for the first time or for the 100th.
