Moose Pass Adventures Winter Snowshoe Treks & Overnights

How do Alaskans make it through the long winters? By getting outside and enjoying them! You can do the same with Moose Pass Adventures on an epic cold-weather snowshoe trek out of Moose Pass, a small town on the Kenai Peninsula, in the heart of the Chugach Mountains.

Extend the experience and camp out in a yurt to truly experience Alaska’s winter at its finest. Either way, you’ll be in an intimate group with a maximum of 6 people, and your snowshoe tour will be led by expert guides eager to share their knowledge of the area.

No snowshoe experience is needed and Moose Pass Adventures even provides top-notch equipment: snowshoes, hiking poles, weatherproof boot/shoe covers, warm gloves, and mittens.

The Tours

Wonders of Winter Snowshoe & Hiking Tour in Moose Pass

This 2.5-hour guided snowshoe tour in Moose Pass takes you onto trails and perhaps even across a frozen lake, as your guides fill you in on the area’s rich history and community. You’ll enjoy a warm drink and a snack while you’re out on the trail.

Secluded Alaska Winter Escape

This spectacular 2-day experience begins with a moderate snowshoe trek across frozen Trail Lake in Moose Pass, before you connect with the National Historic Iditarod Trail. Your destination is a rustic, handmade, Mongolian-style yurt on the shores of remote Grant Lake, where you’ll spend the night. Inside you’ll find two bunk beds (3 twins and one queen), a handmade spruce table with games and books, and an outhouse (there’s no running water). While you warm up and get cozy, your guides will prepare a delicious BBQ dinner. And after a good night’s sleep, they’ll cook up a hearty breakfast before your journey back to Moose Pass.

Winter Wilderness Adventure

This epic 3-day adventure is similar to the 2-day trip, but gives you an extra night in the yurt so you have a full day to enjoy the gorgeous magic of Grant Lake. With the extra day, you’ll enjoy a thrilling snowshoe trek out on the frozen lake and a delicious lunch while you’re out exploring.
