Whether you are trying snowshoeing for the first time, or you are interested in building your skills, take advantage of the trails made possible by the Methow Valley Sport Trails Association.

There's something for every ability; a gentle upper-Valley signed path that meanders through cedar forest and beaver-crewed cottonwoods along Early Winter's Creek (beaver loop), or higher-elevation, scenic outings at Sun Mountain (Rader Creek).

MVSTA snowshoe trail passes ($3) are required. People who have purchased a pass for the ski trails, however, can use that pass on snowshoe trails as well and don’t need to buy another pass. Pick up a Methow Valley Winter Trails map today and have fun! Snowshoes can be rented at Winthrop Mountain Sports, Sun Mountain and Jack's Hut.
