Where to Snowshoe
Whether you are trying snowshoeing for the first time, or you are interested in building your skills, take advantage of the trails made possible by the Methow Valley Sport Trails Association.
There's something for every ability; a gentle upper-Valley signed path that meanders through cedar forest and beaver chewed cottonwoods along Early Winter's Creek (beaver loop), or higher-elevation, scenic outings at Sun Mountain (Rader Creek).
