2010 Winter Snowshoe Walks are well underway!
Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow!
January 2010 marks the beginning of the seventh season for the Montana Wilderness Association’s popular Winter Snowshoe Walks program. This year, 43 guided snowshoe journeys are planned for some of the state's most magnificent backcountry. If you want to experience the quiet beauty of Montana's backcountry splendor, this program is for you.
This year there are plenty of outings for families with children, moderate walks for the more experienced, and strenuous trips for adventurous types. All outings are free and open to the public, but participants need to make reservations by contacting the hike leader. The Montana Wilderness Association will provide snowshoes for participants if necessary.
