The Lassen National Forest Almanor District is offering its annual guided snowshoe tours this winter for the general public and school groups. Each trip is one to two hours, and leaders will discuss basic winter survival skills, environmental education, and local history.
The next walk is scheduled for this Friday, February 10th, at 1:00p.m. The group will meet at the Almanor Ranger Station in Chester. They will drive from there for about 5 minutes to the snowshoe location.
Another walk is scheduled for Friday the 24th, at 1:00p.m. Snowshoe destinations, which will vary depending on current snow conditions, include Morgan Summit, Locherman Canyon, Almanor Recreation Trail, McGowan Cross-Country Ski Trail and the Pacific Crest Trail.
Although the tours are geared for beginners, they can be strenuous in deep snow or fresh powder.
Participants must be at least eight years old, and minors must be accompanied by an adult. Snowshoes are provided free of charge, but cross-country skiers must provide their own equipment.
All programs require reservations. For more Information or to register, contact Carlos Holguin at (530) 258-2141 or [email protected]
