A Moonlight Snowshoe Hike: A still, moonlit evening in January or February is perfect for a snowshoe hike with a ranger, who may discuss the adaptation of the park's animals to the long winters, and the wildlife you are likely to see at night. Or maybe your group will quietly absorb the scenery as moonlight glistens on fields of snow, mountains stand tall against the night sky, and a chorus of coyotes breaks the stillness.
Rocky Mountain Nature Association Seminars: Although topics for these programs vary, you can bet that the instructors will be knowledgeable and interesting. Most of the seminars take place in the park and involve at least a little walking or hiking. If offered during your visit, consider participating in the program "Wild Edible and Useful Plants," which travels to various sites in the park to find edible, medicinal, and even poisonous plants.
A Longs Peak Climb with the Colorado Mountain School: We prefer doing most things in the park on our own, but attempting a climb up ice-covered rock to the park's tallest peak isn't one of them. We recommend going with the experts at this park-sanctioned school.
