Snowshoeing at sunset and stargazing when night falls come together in one Star Tour Snowshoe Adventure in North Tahoe Regional Park. Tahoe Adventure Company guides lead a guided snowshoe tour through the forest, demonstrating the area's natural and human history as the waning sun tints the Sierra peaks purple. Award-winning astronomer Tony Berendsen takes over at the view point, guiding a tour of the night sky through large-aperture telescopes. Designed to appeal to all ages, it's perfectly timed for a between-the-holidays family outing. All gear, hot drinks, snacks and permit fees are included.

Vitals: Dates planned monthly December through March.) $75. 875 National Ave., Tahoe Vista. (530) 913-9212, www.tahoeadventurecompany.com.

I just wanted to take a minute of your time to say thanks for a wonderful time. Micah was a terrific guide; he was really patient and thoughtful. My whole family had a ton of fun, and learned to love a new sport. We will definitely keep Tahoe Adventure Company on our short list of activities for our next Tahoe vacation, and have already referred your company to several others at our resort. Thanks again for your thoughtfulness, informative emails, and great tour. -Jean B.

"We had a fantastic snowshoeing tour with the very friendly and knowledgeable Tyler! The sights and area was beautiful, and Tyler was always accommodating, offering insightful advice and info along the way. Couldn’t have asked for a better first experience snowshoeing and would love to return again one day!" Lori C.

Winter Adventures

"Took a stand up paddle board tour. Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable. Tons of interesting information about Lake Tahoe history. Provided lunch was as good as I've had on any guided trip. We had a great time and would go again. I'd recommend this for anyone looking for a guided leisurely afternoon paddle." Debbie V.
