As I approached the lodge I noticed several happy groups milling about at the entrance

Kids were excitedly lugging along toboggans to the top of nearby hills Parents were putting

on snowshoe boots some were carrying cross-country skis The general mood was one of

pure joy and relaxation It was exactly the kind of vibe I was looking for

I opted to rent a pair of snowshoes and explore nearby trails on my own For those who

prefer guided tours the snowshoe rental outfit at Galena Lodge offers two-hour snowshoe

tours with a guide for the entire group Itrsquos best to schedule these in advance though The

guy who helped me with the snowshoes gave me information on a great variety of trails

around the lodge He also mentioned that all trails were marked clearly with a yellow

snowshoe sign

After being refreshed with a cappuccino and warm oatmeal-raisin cookie I set out with my

snowshoes eager to explore Idahorsquos backcountry I headed out first on ldquoCowboy Cabinrdquo

trail that goes beside a bubbling creek The best part about snowshoeing is that trails are

mostly flat and connect with a network of other loops and trails so one can hike for as long

as one wants to

I spied the bubbling creek as soon as I got onto the snowshoe trail There was nobody

else in sight Just me the white ground covered in several feet of snow blue skies and an

inviting path ahead I love hearing the crunch of fresh snow beneath my feet As I started

snowshoeing on the trail the only other sound I heard was that of the bubbling brook that

ran beside me It was a perfect day to snowshoe warm and sunny crispness in the air

Grand vistas of evergreen pine trees and snow-capped mountains were all around At one

point I stood still in the middle of the snow-covered meadow and turned 360 degrees to

capture stunning panoramic views of Sawtooth National Recreation Area imagine endless

forests of pine trees framed against a backdrop of imposing snow-capped mountain

ranges

As I snowshoed further along ldquoCowboy Cabinrdquo trail I was struck by how serene and

beautiful everything around me was The backcountry near Galena is home to 100 km of

Nordic cross-country and snowshoe trails and I was pleasantly surprised that it was not as

busy as the ski slopes in Sun Valley I hadnrsquot spotted any other people snowshoeing yet

although Irsquod glimpsed a few Nordic skiers going by in a flash But I wasnrsquot complaining

about lack of company Itrsquos rare that you have popular trails all to yourself I meant to

savor every moment of this solitude

Having done snowshoeing before I knew from experience that spotting animal tracks and

birding was an exciting part of snowshoeing But the woods were strangely quiet as I

passed silent trees and untouched snow Itrsquos possible the gurgling brook dampened other

forest sounds but I was hoping to at least glimpse a rabbitrsquos hopping path in the snow or

hear a chickadeersquos call but perhaps wildlife had decided to refrain from coming out in the

open meadow for that day Sometimes all you have is solitude and silence and I was

absolutely fine with that After spending all afternoon exploring the backcountry I was

delighted at how energized and refreshed I felt Snowshoeing does that to you The

activity puts you in a meditative mood while also doubling as an exhilarating workout

about everything outdoors whether it rsquos road trips hiking camping or just

Idaho offers many excellent opportunities for snowshoeing and this includes trails at Sun

Valley ski resort and at Galena Lodge Snowshoeing is the equivalent of summer hiking so

nature lovers will be thrilled to discover they can still hike on their beloved trails even when

covered underneath several feet of snow If you havenrsquot already tried snowshoeing now is

the time As a new snowshoer whorsquos recently discovered this wonderful winter activity I

highly recommend that you check out your nearest winter recreation area and rent a pair

of snowshoes to get started

I spied the bubbling creek as soon as I got onto the snowshoe trail There was nobody

else in sight Just me the white ground covered in several feet of snow blue skies and an

inviting path ahead I love hearing the crunch of fresh snow beneath my feet As I started

snowshoeing on the trail the only other sound I heard was that of the bubbling brook that

ran beside me It was a perfect day to snowshoe warm and sunny crispness in the air

Grand vistas of evergreen pine trees and snow-capped mountains were all around At one

point I stood still in the middle of the snow-covered meadow and turned 360 degrees to

capture stunning panoramic views of Sawtooth National Recreation Area imagine endless

forests of pine trees framed against a backdrop of imposing snow-capped mountain

ranges

As I snowshoed further along ldquoCowboy Cabinrdquo trail I was struck by how serene and

beautiful everything around me was The backcountry near Galena is home to 100 km of

Nordic cross-country and snowshoe trails and I was pleasantly surprised that it was not as

busy as the ski slopes in Sun Valley I hadnrsquot spotted any other people snowshoeing yet

although Irsquod glimpsed a few Nordic skiers going by in a flash But I wasnrsquot complaining

about lack of company Itrsquos rare that you have popular trails all to yourself I meant to

savor every moment of this solitude

Having done snowshoeing before I knew from experience that spotting animal tracks and

birding was an exciting part of snowshoeing But the woods were strangely quiet as I

passed silent trees and untouched snow Itrsquos possible the gurgling brook dampened other

forest sounds but I was hoping to at least glimpse a rabbitrsquos hopping path in the snow or

hear a chickadeersquos call but perhaps wildlife had decided to refrain from coming out in the

open meadow for that day Sometimes all you have is solitude and silence and I was

absolutely fine with that After spending all afternoon exploring the backcountry I was

delighted at how energized and refreshed I felt Snowshoeing does that to you The

activity puts you in a meditative mood while also doubling as an exhilarating workout
