Sierra State Parks offers ranger-guided full moon snowshoe tours

TAHOMA, Calif. - Snowshoeing under a full moon along the snow-covered west shore of Lake is a magical experience. State Park interpreters will be leading Full Moon Snowshoe Tours on January 27, February 24, March 23, and April 20 exploring the natural and cultural history around the Hellman-Ehrman estate at Sugar Pine Point State Park.

For those new to snowshoeing, there will be a beginner’s clinic at 6:30 p.m. each night. The hike is from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. and costs $45 per adult and $25 per child 12 and under. The cost includes snowshoe rentals, park entrance, guided hike, and guaranteed fun! Tickets are available at www.SierraStateParks.org/events. There is a 50-person limit per tour so early reservations are recommended.

“The Full Moon Snowshoe Tour is a fun thing you can do outside in Tahoe after dark. It’s like you’re getting secret access to the park after dark,” said Kiley Mac, event director for Sierra State Parks Foundation. This event is a great way to explore the park under the light of a full moon. West Shore Sports is our generous sponsor, and funds raised support education activities at the park.
