Park City: Private Snowshoe Tour with Local Guide & Snacks

Summary

Private snowshoeing in park city with local guide and snacks

You’ll wander snowy Park City trails at your own pace with a local guide who knows every turn. Expect friendly stories, animal tracks in fresh powder, homemade snacks, and plenty of time for photos or just soaking up the quiet woods—moments you’ll remember long after your boots are off.

What’s the experience like?

I’ll be honest, I thought snowshoeing would feel awkward — like strapping tennis rackets to my feet and hoping for the best. But our guide, Mike (he’s lived here forever), just grinned and handed me the gear, making it all seem pretty normal. The air in Park City was sharp that morning, but not in a bad way — more like it woke up every part of my face. We started slow, crunching over fresh powder, and I kept thinking how weirdly quiet everything felt except for our boots squeaking and the occasional bird somewhere overhead.

Mike pointed out some animal tracks — maybe a fox? — and told us stories about winters past, when the snow was even deeper. He let us set the pace, which honestly was nice because I’m not exactly an athlete (my friend definitely is). There wasn’t any rush at all. At one point we stopped for water and trail snacks (I think they were homemade granola bars?), and he offered to take photos for us. I usually hate posing but the light coming through the trees made everything look softer somehow. That’s probably cheesy but it’s true.

I didn’t expect to learn so much about the area — wildflowers under all that snow, how locals spot moose sometimes if you’re lucky (we weren’t, but still). The whole private snowshoe tour felt less like a tour and more like wandering around with someone who actually loves this place. By the end my cheeks hurt from smiling more than from the cold. I still think about that silence out there — it sticks with you longer than you’d think.
