Bonfire on the Snow

Wanderlust Tours will lead snowshoers on a nighttime tour through a forest. The destination is an amphitheater, hand-carved in the snow, with a roaring bonfire in the middle, surrounded by the scent of pine trees. A naturalist guide will talk about planets, stars and constellations while guests sit back sipping hot cocoa with the option of hazelnut espresso vodka, champagne and dessert. The fee includes the goodies, snowshoes, headlamps and transportation.
