SNOW SHOEING

Snow shoeing at Three Forks Ranch takes you back into the history of the Sierra Madre Mountain Range. Snowshoes were the mode of transportation for all of the mountain men that explored and trapped for fur in this animal rich river valley. Jeremiah Johnson, Jim Bridger, and Jim Baker all made their living snowshoeing their traplines in the Little Snake River Valley. Spring would find them headed West towards the "Great Rendezvous" with heavy-laden mules in hopes of trading their winter cache of furs for supplies and money.

Snow shoeing offers you the opportunity to get away from the groomed trails, set your own pace, and explore the ranch much the same as did these mountain explorers from the 1800's. Ask your guide to help you watch for signs of beaver, mink, and other wildlife as you venture into our backcountry.

Unlike our adventurous predecessors, your day will end in one of our soothing hottubs, munching on tasty hors d'ouerves, and preparing for world class lodging and dining. Try all of our winter activities during your stay at Three Forks, and enjoy our version of the Three Forks lifestyle.
