Snow Shoeing – Guided or Self Service

​

"My daughter, granddaughter and I found the ‘Country Boy Mine Historic Snowshoe Tour” to be a most worthwhile investment of two hours time in fabulous Breckenridge. From the attractively constructed old mine town buildings where the experience began, to the panning for gold at the conclusion of our snowshoe adventure, everything was both interesting and enjoyable.
Much information concerning the history of the mining operations was shared. We found everyone, from the proprietors to the friendly and knowledgeable guides (pointing out tracks of ermine in the snow), going the extra mile to make our memories of the experience warm,
pleasurable to be remembered! It was obvious to the three of us that they loved both their country and folk like us who visit it. I know that I will return with guests to share the joy and do it all over again!
