Snowshoe Tours

Back in the days before cars or paved roads, the best way to get around Oregon in the winter was with the use of snowshoes, which, although slightly awkward, also helped keep the excess weight away. Today, we have snowshoe Tours cars, bikes, and shoveled paths to make the going easy, but if you’re feeling nostalgic for the good old days, or just want to get a little exercise while experiencing the great outdoors, you can experience the wonder of a snowshoe tour of Mt. Bachelor through Wanderlust Tours or venture out on your own self-guided tour, one of the most popular Redmond OR activities.

Experience the Romance During One of the Most Popular Redmond OR Activities

In addition to the standard tours offered by Wanderlust, they also offer moonlight tours from January through April. Costing $85 per person, if you aren’t prepared for the elements, Wanderlust also rents waterproof boots, pants, and jackets, and of course, the snowshoes are included in the $85 fee. The romance of a wintry Oregon night has a charm all its own; your guide will have you looking to the stars as he explains the constellations and watches for shooting stars. The quiet sound of his voice, the soft crunch of the snow under the snowshoes, and the magic of making a wish as you watch a shooting star is just a part of what makes a snowshoe tour so enchanting.
