Great experience - Great experience snow shoe walking on the banks of the river. You can see that the guides were nature lovers and they pointed out various sights. Explanations were in halting English but that is fine with my son and me. Folks should be reasonably fit for this walk though the guides may be rushing us along as we had to complete the walk in an hour and a half instead of two plus hours, to catch the infrequent train back
