Join us for a winter hike through dense forest and a gradual climb to scenic June Lake, where the waterfalls often freeze revealing a dazzling display of ice and snow on the boughs of the sugar-covered conifers. This is a five-mile snowshoe out and back through the forest from the Marble Mountain Sno-Park. Snowshoes, trekking poles, and gaiters are included. This is an amazing winter adventure with or without snow!
