Great experience at the Ancient Cedars snowshoe tour - This tour was great in its entirety. The guide Nick was very nice and friendly. He had the great idea of taking extra hardwarmers for us, which was greatly needed. He explained to us the history of the forest, as well as the ecosystem's life cycle. Going all the way up the mountain, the panoramas along the trail are wonderul, and we had the opportunity to take pictures whenever we wanted.

Educational and fun snowshoeing experience with Pablo <3 - We had the best time snowshoeing for the first time. Our guide was Pablo and he was extremely knowledgeable, funny, and kind. Highly recommend the Adventure Group/Pablo in Whistler!

Snow shoeing in stunning mixed forest scenery with well informed guides. Definitely recommended. - This was a fantastic activity! Our guides Mia and Michelle were wonderful, from driving through all the fresh powder in the Rangers, to showing us how to fit and manage the snow shoes with added quick tips along the way, but most of all for sharing their knowledge of the forest. For me perhaps the best part was seeing the bear scratches on the cedars where they had climbed the trees, or was it the discussions about the value and preservation of our world’s great forests, or was it just the sheer joy of being quietly out walking in this remote winter wonderland. The actual snow shoeing quickly became second nature and was a wonderful way of engaging with nature. Thanks Mia and Michelle and also Jamie for fetching and dropping us in Whistler and introducing us to the wonderful Frankie dog!

Wonderful Trek Though the Ancient Cedars - I arrived at the base camp where the guide helped fit us and gave some preliminary information before we drove up to the trail. There we spent the next hour and a half or so snowshoeing through the ancient cedars learning about their history and their relations to the First Nations.

Snowshoe through the cedar forest! - Wonderful snowshoe tour through the cedar forest! Online reservations were easy, and the staff was helpful when I needed to change the date of my tour. I had the shuttle bus pick me up at the main bus area in Whistler, and it was a short ride to The Adventure Group's location. Our guide met us and outfitted us with snowshoes. I didn't have winter boots, but they had plenty available to borrow. There was another couple, the guide, and me on this small tour. We rode in an ATV with snow tracks for about 20 minutes up to the Ancient Cedars trailhead. We were blessed with a beautiful day - blue skies, moderate temperatures. We hiked for a little more than an hour. There was one stop at a scenic vista across a valley looking at the snow-capped peaks. Otherwise you hiked through a cedar forest. Some of the trees are huge! I'd say it would take 8 people to wrap their arms around the largest one. Our guide was great at pointing out items of interest. There is a moderate elevation change along the trail, but the pace is slow and steady. I would highly recommend this tour for anyone interested in taking a day off from the slopes and looking for a quiet, relaxing activity.
