Snowshoe Hike

Event:               Snowshoe Hike/Lunch at Latchstring Inn Restaurant (optional)

                        Trail from Spearfish Canyon Lodge toRoughlock Falls and back (approximately 2 miles – fairly easy but very scenic).

Date:                Saturday, February 20

Directions:        Take Spearfish Canyon Scenic Byway 14A to Spearfish Canyon Lodge  (near Roughlock Falls)

Clothing:           Layered clothing, waterproof pants, hat, gloves, good warm boots, sunglasses, sunscreen, and whatever else the weather dictates. 

                        The more the better…It’s easier to take off a layer than it is to wish you had them.

                        Note from Dana:  She will bring the snowshoes. If it is possible to get a count of sizes she needs to bring, that would help out a lot. The sizes are                         based on the weight of the person:

                         Size 22 - up to 125lbs

                        Size 25- 125-175lbs

                        Size 30- 175-220lbs

                        Size 36- above 220lbs

                         All that is needed is a name and what snowshoe size you would like. If you would like to reserve snowshoes, please e-mail Dana your name and                          snowshoe size asap.

 Bring:               Snacks, water, and camera.

Cost:                Members – free; Nonmembers - $5; bring extra cash for lunch, if interested.

Waiver:            Each participant will need to sign a waiver.  Please sign the attached waiver and bring with you to the event.
