Description

Step into a quiet winter landscape where snow-covered forests, sweeping mountain vistas, and tranquil meadows define the day. This private guided snowshoeing experience is designed for travelers seeking solitude, natural beauty, and a deep sense of calm in the Colorado high country.

Accompanied by your own expert naturalist guide, you’ll quietly explore off-the-beaten-path snowshoe trails — weaving through forested pines, open meadows, and winter scenes that seem untouched by time. Your guide tailors the pace and route to your group, whether you prefer a gentle forest walk or a more vigorous trek through ridges and overlooks. We select routes that balance stunning scenery with comfort — including glades, aspen groves, and occasional alpine outcrops. Expect gentle challenges and peaceful moments. Along the way, you’ll learn about the ecology of the San Juans, local wildlife tracks in the snow, the quiet power of winter scenery, and Telluride’s history, turning every step into an educational, enjoyable experience. As you spot animal tracks in the snow, stay alert for wildlife sightings, such as snowshoe hares, coyotes, elk, or the elusive lynx.  

Breathe in the crisp mountain air and enjoy the sights of snow-covered peaks and valleys. Enjoy a deeply personal adventure as you bask in the solitude and tranquility of stunning winter landscapes. This experience is more than just a hike — it’s winter forest bathing: a chance to disconnect, slow down, and connect with nature in its purest season. Perfect for traveling with family, a group, a partner, or alone, this private adventure transforms quiet trails into unforgettable memories.
