While people often think of sustainability as minimizing our environmental footprint, it is in fact much broader and all-encompassing than this. Sustainable tourism is all about achieving a balance between economic growth, human well-being, and environmental health.

Yosemite National Park was first protected in 1864, Yosemite National Park is best known for its waterfalls, but within its nearly 1,200 square miles, you can find deep valleys, grand meadows, ancient giant sequoias, a vast wilderness area, and much more. Located in western California, Yosemite is also the home of the iconic Half Dome rock formation. Thousands of hikers, rock climbers and outdoor adventurers travel to the park every year.

But with an increase in hikers. There is an increased opportunity to see trash on the trail and in camping areas. The reality of the matter is, the more hikers the merrier. The key is to be a sustainable hiker. 

This week I would like to look at how to effectively use snowshoes on the trail. We’ll start with the basics and then look at how to use snowshoes on different terrain.

Whereas here in Duluth the opportunity and need for snow shoes is abundant. Snowshoeing not only allows for you to hike all year but also hike on trails that have not been used after heavy snowfall.

When it comes to safety and a sense of security on the trail. I highly recommend purchasing the InReach Mini. I use mine on every hike and trail.
