Let's kick off the winter season with a snowshoe trip on Cypress Mountain! Eagle Bluffs offers scenic views of Horseshoe Bay, Point Grey and Lighthouse Park. This trail is perfect for all levels, especially if you're new to snowshoeing.
Whether you're an experienced snowshoer or a first-timer, everyone is welcome! Early-season conditions mean we might even be able to tackle the trail with just microspikes, so come prepared for a flexible, fun day.
