Submitted to the Sun

TAHOMA, Calif. – Snowshoeing under a full moon along the snow-covered west shore of Lake Tahoe is a magical experience. State Park Interpreters will lead Full Moon Snowshoe Tours on February 14, March 14, and April 12 exploring the natural and cultural history around the Hellman-Ehrman Estate at Sugar Pine Point State Park. For those new to snowshoeing, there will be a beginner’s clinic at 6:30 pm. The hike is from 7 pm to 8:30 p.m., costing $45 per adult and $25 per child 12 and under. The cost includes snowshoe rentals, park entrance, guided hike, and guaranteed fun! Tickets are available at http://www.SierraStateParks.org/events. There are limited spots per tour so early reservations are recommended.

“This is a cool and unique after dark experience at our state park that is a perfect way to enjoy the beauty and wonder of our natural world,” said Michael Myers, Executive Director for Sierra State Parks Foundation. It is a great way to explore the park under the light of a full moon. This event is a partnership between the Sierra State Parks Foundation and the California State Parks, and all proceeds from the tour benefit the Sierra State Parks Foundation’s educational programming.
