All Bend Tours & Excursions in 2026

As the light from the moon and stars shimmers on the fresh snow, we will set off through the fresh powder, weaving uour way through an old-growth forest of mountain hemlock and sub-alpine fir. Throughout the adventure, your naturalist guide will highlight animal tracks, enliven you with age old stories of the constellations above, and more! Snowshoeing is truly the best way to observe nature in the winter! Traveling on snowshoes, you will be able to get a glimpse of how the native wildlife in Central Oregon have adapted to the deep snow, perhaps stumbling upon the tracks of a fox or pine marten. We will also take a quick rest to enjoy hot cocoa amidst the snow & stars. Your Snowshoe tours are great fun for the whole family! Join us for a truly unique experience, snowshoeing in the heart of darkness and immersing yourself in the winter wonderland that is Central Oregon!
