Snow-Shoe hiking followed by a picnic by the frozen waterfall Snowshoe hiking is the perfect invitation to step into winter’s untouched beauty - no crowds, no noise, just you, nature, and the crisp echo of snow beneath your feet. With no special skills required, it’s ideal for beginners, families with teenagers, and anyone wanting to explore the outdoors safely and comfortably.
