Do you think winter is a time for hibernation? Think again! Come out snowshoeing with Weber Pathways on Wednesday mornings! If you’ve got a pair of snowshoes, great. If not, no worries. You can rent them from Weber State’s Outdoor Recreation Center (Snowshoe Package, poles included: $6 student, $9 general). Or, check out Canyon Sports in Riverdale.
These outings are free to the public and everyone is welcome to join! Bring your dogs, bring your kids. For little wee ones, a sled will be provided to pull ‘em along. Beginner? No problem. We’re all out for a good time, and you’re guaranteed to enjoy yourself.
So come on out for a good sweat and beautiful scenery. Call Tracey for more details (801) 776-1713.
With shorter days come fewer chances to get outside in the sunlight. But what about moonlight? I feel like I’m living a scene out of Avatar when I hike on the snowy trails that glow from the moonlight. Especially out in Ogden Valley -- with Pineview Reservoir glowing bright under the Lunar Love. And I don’t care how cheesy it sounds – it’s straight up magical.
Try it yourself!
