Snowshoeing
Many summertime trails make great places to enjoy winter’s scenic beauty. The Highline Trail or the Bear River countryside, where steam from natural geothermal waters rise, create stunning photography opportunities. Take a loop or head up a mountain draw with Fido with the Idaho State Parks and Recreation Park n’ Ski program. Just South of Pocatello,
seven plowed lots provide access to five different trails with out-and-back experiences, loops and even a ripping downhill.
