Snowshoe Description: Enjoy a guided 5.0km (2.5 -3.0hrs) snowshoe a top the Niagara Escarpment that will take you through a peaceful mature, mainly deciduous forest on route into and out of the majestic Singhampton Caves. The caves are less visited in the winter, are easier to navigate with the snow leveling out the ground and the contrast in colors between the snow, the caves and sparkling ice-covered walls is spectacular. The caves are open to the sky for those uneasy with tight spaces. After exploring the caves we will stop to enjoy a hot chocolate before heading back to the starting location.
