Itinerary:
We begin our day at Mount Sima Ski Hill, in the rental shop, where we select our snowshoes for the day.

Once we are packed and ready, we will drive you in our vehicle to the trailhead, which is approximately 40 minutes outside of Whitehorse. 

The hike to the waterfall takes 1-2 hours, depending on how often we want to stop for photos, talk about the local flora and fauna, and tell stories. The trail is moderate difficulty; there is some elevation gain, most of it near the end. The trail winds through the Boreal forest of spruce, pine and fir.

Throughout the day there are plenty of opportunities for rests and refreshments, including our special Equinox winter tea that will both warm and energize you.

The trail takes us to a beautiful frozen waterfall. Explore the ice caves and crevices that were formed in the waterfall as it froze. At the waterfall site we gather around a cozy campfire and enjoy snacks and hot drinks. And of course, more stories. 

Note: we also our Waterfall Ice Adventure in the same location. You may be lucky enough to be at the site while other adventurers are climbing the frozen waterfall!

When we are satisfied with our Frozen Falls & Firelight experience, we return the way we came on our beautiful winter trail.

With gearing up, driving, and periodic rests, this is a full day tour.
