So far this year, at the Lassen National Park’s Kohm Yah-mah-nee Visitor Center, almost ten feet of snow has stacked up!
Ranger Led Snow Shoe Walks
Each Saturday and Sunday through April 3rd, from 1:30 – 3:30p.m. at the visitor center, the park will offer guided snowshoe walks. Click here for more information.
Ranger-led snowshoe walks are an excellent way to learn or practice snowshoeing techniques and explore Lassen in its winter form. Route and distance varies depending on group ability and fitness. At the beginning of each snowshoe walk, a ranger will demonstrate how to put on snowshoes and how to move around. Once the basic techniques are covered, the group heads out into the snow and the adventure begins!
