More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
A low sun slices across a white field as you lace up snowshoes at the trailhead—breath visible, trees bowed with snow. The first steps sink into powder that cushions each footfall; the forest answers with quiet, and distant ridgelines cut the horizon. By night, the same woods take on a different personality: headlamps pick out glittering crystals and the moon turns the snow into a pale map you follow.
