The Northern Wilderness trip is perfect for beginner or intermediate snowshoe enthusiasts looking to develop their skills and confidence in the backcountry. Outfitted with a variety of snowshoe styles, we will break our own trail through the frozen waterways and diverse snow-covered forests of Northern Ontario, all the while pausing to interpret the many ecological wonders of winter. Halfway through the trip we'll break to sip hot chocolate around a campfire and enjoy the silence and beauty of Ontario's backcountry. A truly Canadian experience, the Northern Wilderness trip provides an opportunity to develop your snowshoeing techniques in a northern wilderness environment.
