This trip will be for anyone who has snowshoed before. A day exploring the trails around Falls Creek. Distance of approximately 10km depending on the group. 

Weather permitting I plan to have lunch somewhere out on the trail so pack something to eat, a warm drink and something to sit on.

Please check what to bring on the day. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact me.

Suitable for most ages and fitness levels. Some bushwalking experience recommended. Track may have short steep hill sections, a rough surface and many steps.
