Though snow is scant in the Gallatin Valley, West Yellowstone is still enjoying winter conditions that enable outdoors exploring. On Sunday, Feb. 15, the U.S. Forest Service is holding a beginner-friendly guided snowshoe hike along Refuge Point Trail in West Yellowstone.
Snowshoers will meet at the Hebgen Lake Ranger District at 1 p.m. and then caravan 23 miles to the trailhead for the 1.5 mile trek. Along the way, a guide will discuss the devastating 1959 Hebgen Lake earthquake that formed Quake Lake and took 28 lives. The event is kid-friendly and well-behaved dogs are welcome to join.
