The Kenai National Wildlife Refuge will begin hosting free guided snowshoe walks on Jan. 6 at the Refuge Visitor Center. The twice-weekly event is open to first-time and experienced snowshoers 12 years and older.
Snowshoers can bring their own equipment or borrow a set from the refuge. The walks range easy to moderate difficulty, averaging about a mile to a mile and a half each.
The guided snowshoe walks will be held Saturdays from 2 to 3:30 p.m. and Wednesdays from noon to 1:30 p.m. through mid-March. Registration is only required if borrowing snowshoes from the refuge.
The refuge will also be hosting a full moon guided family snowshoe walk Jan. 25 from 4:30 to 6 p.m. at the refuge’s Environmental Education Center, next to the visitor center. The event is open to adults and children in second grade and above. Registration for this event is required.
