Join Washington Trails Association and Wenatchee River Institute for a free winter hiking safety workshop, hosted at the Red Barn, 347 Division St. Leavenworth, WA. Refresh your knowledge of how to pack your daypack for winter conditions, prepare for a long day in the snow, take precautions against common hazards and find winter trails close to you.

Bring your packed winter day bag for an interactive discussion about what to bring for a winter day trip, plus favorite tips and tricks to stay warm. We’ll also learn from local Search and Rescue volunteers who will share common situations hikers encounter in the winter and how to prepare for them.
