you are here: Moonlight Snowshoe Tours
by Jennifer Good
Escape to your own winter wonderland with a moonlight snowshoe tour. You can be fairly certain this evening out is something your date hasn't done before. Just imagine the beauty of a full moon reflecting off the snow, highlighting all the wonder of the scene around you. Best of all, nearly all tours are arranged to fit a variety of abilities and needs, and are designed to keep people in their comfort zone.
Keeping the theme of romance going, most tours offer s'mores, hot cocoa, and a bonfire at the end. In fact, these tours could be a perfect proposal opportunity. On the practical side, tour prices typically include the use of snowshoes, transportation, refreshments and a guide service. Some tours focus a little more on the nature side, while others offer stargazing opportunities. For a complete experience, try to find a tour that offers a dinner along with the tour.
When to Go:
Most moonlight tours occur during the winter months on the night of or the nights surrounding a full moon. Some tours are available all season long. However, these tours often have a particular emphasis, like a stargazing tour or a dinner snowshoe tour. Check with your tour provider to see all the available options.
What to Wear:
Since you'll be fairly active during this date night, dressing in warm layers is strongly advised. Your outerwear should be moisture-resistant, and since you'll be walking in the snow, comfortable snow boots are also recommended.
