Get your New Year's resolutions going on the first day of the New Year! Join us for an invigorating snowshoe hike as we explore the backcountry area of Itasca. The hike will go along the shores of several lakes, over a rolling landscape and through a mature mixed old growth pine and deciduous forest. This will be a strenuous hike.
Notes: Dress for being outdoors, bring along your snowshoes, water and sunglasses. A limited number of snowshoes are available at the Jacob V. Brower Visitor Center for use during the program and are first-come-first-serve. Please check out the snowshoes before the start of the hike. Route may change based on weather and snow conditions. Trail route will be selected based on snow conditions.
