SNOWSHOE
AT DURANGOMOUNTAIN RESORT
Explore the backcountry
on snowshoes—all you need is a sense of adventure, we provide the rest!
Our experienced guides will take you into the scenic San JuanNational Forest,
where you can enjoy winter’s beauty in areas you would never see any
other way.
People of all ages and abilities can enjoy
snowshoeing because there’s no learning involved, you go at your own
pace, and you can do it under a variety of terrain and snow conditions.
We provide snowshoes & poles, a guide, lunch, and water. You will need
sturdy, warm boots, heavy socks, ski-type clothing, hat & gloves—and
gaiters are recommended. You will need to dress in layers since the
weather can change quickly. We also suggest a fanny pack or small day
pack with extra water, sunscreen, and of course a camera!
