5.00Amazing experience. First time snowshoeing and it was fun and easy to master. Branden was great. Nice combo of exercise and nature.
The best way to snowshoe Mt. Hood, and with easy Portland pickup.

5.00I had an amazing experience on the Mt. Hood snowshoe adventure. The entire day felt well-organized, safe, and truly enjoyable. Our guide handled everything - transportation, gear, warm drinks, and even a picnic lunch in the snow (the soup with fresh bread was to die for). The hike along Cloud Cap Road was peaceful and beautiful (true winter wonderland setting), and the pace was relaxed enough for everyone to enjoy the scenery. I really appreciated how prepared the team was: first aid gear, satellite communication, extra layers, traction aids; they thought of everything. The only things you need to bring are your own winter boots and clothing. If you’re looking for a winter outing that’s both beginner-friendly and adventurous, I highly recommend this tour.
