Today’s Guided Snowshoe Program…
Winter Ecology at Bogus Basin
Join us on a relaxing snowshoe walk to explore the winter environment around Bogus Basin. We will learn about the importance of the snowpack for plants and animals and for human survival.

Snowshoe rentals and trail passes can be purchased at the Frontier Point Lodge. Maximum of 12 people per program.

Meet your Guide!
Hit the trail with Ray Vizgirdas, retired Wildlife Biologist and lifelong Naturalist for this installment of our Guided Snowshoe Program series. With over three decades of experience working for state and federal agencies, Ray knows a thing or two about the outdoors (he has literally authored guidebooks about the flora at Bogus Basin!). On select Saturday afternoons, Ray will cover a new topic relevant to the time of year. Whether it’s winter animal adaptations or emergency snow shelters, you’re bound to learn a thing or two on your outing.
