Itinerary
Join us on a half-day guided snowshoeing trip through Lake Tahoe National Forest. On this winter snowshoe hike, we will be hiking with snowshoes, immersing ourselves in the forest on a homemade secluded winter trail. The terrain climbs 800 feet up the mountain in elevation to one of our favorite views and our halfway mark, Pauly's Point which overlooks world-renowned ski resorts of Alpine Meadows and Palisades Tahoe. Snowshoeing to the Palisades Tahoe overlook is quite an accomplishment and usually takes about 1 - 1.5 hours of hiking through the Sierra Nevada Mountain landscape. Once to the top, your Snowshoe Tahoe guide will have a variety of snacks to pass around. Snacks, photo opportunities, and conversations about the history and surrounding area are enjoyed as we take a break enjoying the Palisades Tahoe and Sierra Nevada scenery. High snowy alpine meadows are meandered through as our snowshoeing adventure continues down the mountain, completing a loop as we reach the end.
Due to the seclusion and private snowshoe trail, seeing another person is highly unlikely. So, step off the beaten path and allow us to show you a true mountain outing you won’t surely forget.

This experience gave me a chance to get close to the winter wild. The walking pace was calm and the guide consistently checked our status. He also introduced fun facts throughout the hike.

What a great experience! My wife and I love to adventure and try new things. We never snowshoed before and thought we would give it a try. Paul was amazing! Rusty and Brooke (Pauls pups) joined us and it was such fun having them join along. The half day (3 hour) trip was perfect. If you’re in the area and looking for something adventurous to do that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg, I highly recommend Snowshoe Tahoe.

The tour guide was very friendly, knowledgeable, and ensured everyone was able to keep up. The area that we snowshoed was packed down by the tour guide with a snow mobile the day before so it made the path much easier to get across. I would recommend this tour to anyone who is interested in snowshoeing whether it be for the first time or for the 100th.
