About half the guide team, but this group of professionals performed at their top to make yesterday’s sold out ice hiking program go without a hitch!!! From 7:30am-5:00pm, they braved the -5 windchill and delivered exceptional experiences to all the awesome clients. They are at it again today and will be for the remainder of the season, but tipping the hat at them is what’s it stall about. Thank you!!!

On Sunday we ran our first Hikes of the season. The winter storm that came through Friday and Saturday brought 8" of fresh snow to Ricketts Glen making amazing winter scenery. The ice is beginning to form which is going to make this season and incredible one for the Winter Waterfall Ice Hikes.
If you’d like to explore the icy waterfalls, trails and landscape of Ricketts Glen, join us this winter for a guided ice hike.
