Snow Cave Building & Snowshoeing in Sierra Nevada
Immerse yourself in a unique winter experience in Sierra Nevada National Park. Over two days, you'll learn to build your own snow cave, a skill essential for high-mountain bivouacs, and spend a night in this self-made shelter. Imagine the silence, the crisp air, and the feeling of connection with the wild landscape as the snow blankets the peaks. As Jon Krakauer meticulously documented the challenges of the wild, this activity offers a firsthand encounter with nature's raw beauty. The second day brings a snowshoeing expedition, traversing pristine white expanses, feeling the crunch of snow underfoot. This isn't just an activity; it's an education in mountain survival and a profound connection with the alpine environment, echoing the warmth and wisdom of rural life that María Sánchez so beautifully portrays.
