Since winter is upon us, we might as well enjoy it, right? So get your snowshoes ready to rock because we’re going out into the wilderness! Here are some books to explore or recommend to others interested in snowshoeing:
“A well-traveled New York sophisticate, Florence Page Jaques fell in love with northern Minnesota during her first trips to the region, and recounted those early travels in Canoe Country and Snowshoe Country. She writes of the excitement of traveling by foot, canoe, snowshoe, and dogsled.”
“The locus of Jim dale Huot-Vickery’s life is a remote cabin in the northern wilderness of Minnesota’s Boundary Waters region. More often than not, it is winter here, a fierce, beautiful season that dominates all living things with its relentless cold grip. This is the inspiration for Winter Sign, the profound story of fifteen years of surviving the seven-month-long odyssey of winter in the far north.”
This book isn’t all about snowshoeing, but the alpacas enjoying various winter activities is pretty adorable!
“These funny alpacas love it when it snows. They slide and ski and snowshoe, having a wonderful time.”
