Tahoe Rim Trail Association’s free Freezing our Feathers Off Family Fun Snowshoe Hike.

Date: Feb. 27

Location: Tahoe Meadows

Distance: 3 miles, approximately

Level: Easy

Hours: 1–2

Description: Birds of a feather flock together and fly south for the winter, right? Well, almost right. Did you know that there are actually some birds that stick around and tough out the cold, Sierra winters? Are they a bit cuckoo or do they actually like snowstorms and frigid temperatures? You will learn the answers to this question. We will explore the amazing world of winter and try to determine how birds and other animals survive the winter months, all while practicing our snowshoe skills. And…after playing and having fun in the snow, there will be some hot chocolate, hot apple cider, and treats waiting for us at the end.

You must sign up in advance for these treks by calling the TRTA office at (775) 298.0012 or email programs@tahoerimtrail.org.
