THREE DOG DAY TOUR

Backcountry ski, cross country ski or snowshoe into the Serengeti of the United States in Lamar Valley to look for signs of coyotes, foxes and wolves. We will take you and your group into the heart of one of the wildest places in the lower 48 and our interpretive guides will discuss the characteristics of the different animals that share this beautiful area: including history, tracking, and the affects of climate change on these animals. Depending on the groups desires and skill levels, powder skiing can be found on the slopes of Rose Creek and other areas of Lamar Valley. Very few visitors leave the road to explore this area in the winter and our guides will take you to remote places of Lamar valley providing you with an intimate feel for how amazing and wild this area is. This tour can be done on backcountry skis, cross country skis or snowshoes. For safety and efficiency in travel, we require all group members traveling together be on similar traveling devices (ie, all snowshoes, all cross country skis, etc.)
