Itinerary

Join us on a half-day guided snowshoeing trip through Lake Tahoe National Forest. On this winter snowshoe hike, we will be hiking with snowshoes, immersing ourselves in the forest on a homemade secluded winter trail. The terrain climbs 800 feet up the mountain in elevation to one of our favorite views and our halfway mark, Pauly's Point which overlooks world-renowned ski resorts of Alpine Meadows and Palisades Tahoe. Snowshoeing to the Palisades Tahoe overlook is quite an accomplishment and usually takes about 1 - 1.5 hours of hiking through the Sierra Nevada Mountain landscape. Once to the top, your Snowshoe Tahoe guide will have a variety of snacks to pass around. Snacks, photo opportunities, and conversations about the history and surrounding area are enjoyed as we take a break enjoying the Palisades Tahoe and Sierra Nevada scenery. High snowy alpine meadows are meandered through as our snowshoeing adventure continues down the mountain, completing a loop as we reach the end. Due to the seclusion and private snowshoe trail, seeing another person is highly unlikely. So, step off the beaten path and allow us to show you a true mountain outing you won’t surely forget.

It is a bit difficult due to elevation. The views are amazing! I recommend to give it a try! The tour guy was great and very patient with us newbies.

Something fun to do in Tahoe

Published on Jan, 2025

Lots of fun! It’s about a 5k hike. Straight up hill. Then straight down hill. Seth was the guide. He was really good! Such a great experience

Enjoy the beauty of Tahoe away from the crowds

Published on Jan, 2025

Very fun experience! I took this tour last year and enjoyed it so much I came back this year. Our guide was very knowledgeable and able to accommodate a group with varying levels of snowshoe ability. Enjoy the beauty of Tahoe removed from the ski crowds, a refreshing experience.

This half day snow shoe...

Published on Jan, 2025

This half day snow shoe tour is great! I would recommend for someone who is relatively active as a few of the inclines were challenging but doable. The tour guides were great and took several breaks to allow for photos and a sip of water. I will definately book again when I return to Tahoe.

Fun Day with Great Views Snow Shoeing

Published on Dec, 2024

Our guides were knowledgeable and super fun to spend the time with. We never snow shoed before but quickly felt comfortable with their expert instruction. The vistas were gorgeous for great photos and we even had a chance to make snow angels and check out some seasonal snowmen. Highly recommend! Thank you!
