Join us for a soul stirring evening as we embark on a snowshoe adventure under the twinkling night sky. Weaving our way through the forest, we will happen upon a quaint warming hut where we will ground ourselves with a guided yoga practice by firelight!

We are hoping to put another event together for this coming fall and we will be back again in May of 2025 as well!
For this incredible experience, Wanderlust Tours will be partnering with Luckey’s Woodsman, experts in backcountry cooking techniques, to teach guests about foraging techniques, identification of flora and fauna, and how simple ingredients that can be found all around us in mother nature can be used to make and accentuate stunningly delicious dishes! After some hopefully fortuitous foraging, we will gather around the dining table for a four course meal prepared by Luckey’s Woodsman!
