GOOD TO KNOW: Snowshoe hiking means immersing yourself in nature. Therefore, treat it with respect. You should also not ignore the proper behavior towards wildlife while snowshoe hiking. It's best to follow the marked routes and leave the animals their important retreat areas. This avoids unnecessary disturbance and stress, allowing both humans and animals to peacefully enjoy the quiet.
