This event is snow-dependent! While we are hoping to get our winter season started on December 16th, if trails are not snowy enough will we have to cancel. A moderately strenuous tour, the trail to the mine is about 1.5 miles, mostly uphill (one way), 3 miles round trip. The beginning is a steady climb (we stop lots to rest and learn along the way). The group may eventually make it to an old Uranium Mine, the furthest our groups go. Where do you meet: there will be a link in your confirmation email as there is no physical address for this location. What time and how long is the tour: Please arrive by 9:45 am to put on snowshoes and sign the waiver; the snowshoe starts at 10 am and ends at 1 pm.
