Seasoned Snowshoer? New to Central Oregon Sno-Parks? We Got You

Pro tips on the best snowshoeing this season Some outdoor winter staples look decidedly different this year, and others were just canceled. Not so for self-guided snowshoeing. It s pretty easy to socially distance on snowshoe trails, and they re often less crowded than skiing trails. To help everyone make the most of the trails this year, we reached out to local snowshoer and Snowshoe Trail Coordinator for the Central Oregon Nordic Club, Bob Timmer, to get tips for newbies and seasoned snowshoe enthusiasts alike. Timmer has seen a lot of what Central Oregon snowshoeing has to offer. Since the CONC has a volunteer service agreement with the Forest Service, he s coordinated snowshoe trail maintenance at trails including Edison Butte Sno-Park and the sno-parks off Century Drive since 2013.
