$70 for adults, $55 for youth under 12 (children under 2 free) Join us for a snowshoe hike through the boreal forest. We will start and end in our cozy little one room cabin, where you will get to see what dry cabin living is all about. Here we will learn about snowshoes and check on cold weather gear, supplementing as needed. Then we will head out the door, getting set up with a pair of snowshoes and trekking poles. Once everyone is comfortable with their setup and clothing layers, we will head out onto the trails to discover the treasures of the forest.
On our snowshoe walk you will explore the boreal forest, moving through birch and spruce trees, including seeing iconic Alaskan dwarf spruce. We will walk through a winter wonderland looking for animal tracks, learning about local plant uses, and how plants and animals survive life in the cold. It may be winter but there are still birds, mammals, and plants to be found! This is your experience and we are happy to customize it to suit your needs. Trails are chosen depending on the abilities and interests of your group. If you want an exploratory nature hike, a quiet meditative walk in the woods, or a fast paced hike with some off trail explorations, just let us know! |
After our wander in the woods you are welcome to come in and enjoy the warmth of the wood stove and sip on a cup of herbal tea (locally foraged by us) or hot chocolate. Feel free to ask questions and check out the projects we are working on and finished products made with locally foraged products. We are happy to share our experiences living in Alaska, hunting, working, and adventuring in Alaskan villages and bush. If you are missing your four-legged friend at home, our dog Cooper is happy to give you some attention and loves a good ear rub (He's also happy to lounge on his bed if you would rather not interact with him).
