Amazing Snowshoeing
Published on Mar, 2024
We had an amazing time on our Amole Canyon Snowshoeing Tour with Lizzy as our tour guide! It was me and my son's favorite part of our spring break trip to Taos. We had great weather and fresh snow on our three mile hike, and Lizzy gave us breaks to play in the meadows so the kids could build snowmen or rest. Lizzy was also very patient with re-adjusting my son's snowshoe and had a great attitude. We also had a gourmet lunch and hot chocolate after the tour, what a great time!
Family activity over spring break
Published on Mar, 2024
This was one of our favorite activities on our family spring break trip. We enjoyed the scenery and playing in the snow. The sandwiches and hot cocoa at the end was also a highlight.
Spring snow and snowshoes.

Snowshoe trekking in Amole Canyon was a beautiful adventure. Lizzy led us with ease through the fresh powder. It’s Gods country made accessible via Viator.

Angelisa was such a charming guide and made the trip so much fun! She adjusted as needed for our sea-level visitors and taught us a lot about the area. She made sure we understood the basics and ended the session with an amazing lunch. We will be back!!!
