Enjoy this close-to-town winter wonderland with a forest snowshoe hike and a lunch stopover at a Nordic-style warming station.
Difficulty: Medium
Distance: 4-5 miles
Elevation Gain: 500 feet
Leader: Sean Stevens
Location: Bend, Deschutes National Forest
Strap on your snowshoes for a trip close to Bend but far from the hustle-bustle of the city. Hike through pine forests surrounding Cascade lakes covered in snow.
Bring along a lunch and enjoy a midday stopover at a warming hut along the trail. While on the trail we’ll talk about Wilderness and Oregon Wild’s upcoming work to protect special places across the state.
This is our first snowshoe hike out of Bend since we can remember and we hope you can join us and make it a special day.
This hike is free and open to the public. Sign up for the hike here.
Snowshoes are not provided, but rentals can be made at REI and other outdoor stores.
