Benefit from the knowledge and leadership of a guide for a non-technical snowshoe adventure.
The Wasatch Mountains provide good snowshoeing conditions early December to the end of April. UMA guides are happy to include the ascent of a nearby accessible peak for sweeping views of the mountains and valleys.
All snowshoeing is arranged on a custom basis. Guides are available daily, however, advance notice is appreciated.
