About

Embark on a winter wonderland expedition with Snowshoe Tahoe’s beginner half-day guided snowshoe hike at Chickadee Ridge, a snowy retreat nestled on the North Shore of Lake Tahoe, just moments away from Incline Village, NV.

Our journey commences at the picturesque Mt. Rose Meadow Trailhead, leading you through a captivating winter landscape with expansive views of Mt. Rose Meadows and the majestic Mt. Rose Peak. This trail serves as the perfect entry point for an exhilarating snowshoeing adventure, guiding you to a scenic ridge-line that offers sweeping vistas of Lake Tahoe.

Nestled at higher elevation peaks above Lake Tahoe, Chickadee Ridge is an ideal destination, especially during years of lower snowfall. This elevated location ensures an abundance of snow for exploration and play, creating a pristine snowy paradise that stands in stark contrast to snow-free areas. Join us for an unforgettable journey through this snowy haven, where every step is a magical experience in the heart of Lake Tahoe's winter charm.
