❄Winter in Sisters❄
The mountains to the west of Sisters are known as the old cascades. Located to the west of their larger, more explosive cousins, these mountains predate the larger Central Oregon volcanoes such as the Three Sisters, Mt Jefferson & Mt. Washington by millions of years. Time and erosion have taken their toll on these peaks, giving them more rugged, yet majestic characteristics relative to the younger volcanoes that sit high on their eastern flanks.

THIS WINTER - Departing from Sisters, we will adventure on snowshoe through these ancient volcanic mountains and forests, connecting to nature and learning about the regions' ancient geology and fascinating cultural history while we kick through fresh powder!

Join us EVERY SATURDAY from January 11th through March 1st for a stunning snowshoe adventure just outside of Sisters' front door!

Each season, we choose three causes that align with our mission of empowering people to get into the great outdoors where mother nature can do her work of inspiring and instilling an appreciation and protection for her mighty peaks, stunning rivers, and verdant forests. This winter, our three causes will be COAVY, the Onward Project, and the Wanderlust Scholarship.

Founded in 2009, the Central Oregon Avalanche Center empowers the local backcountry community to make informed decisions by providing avalanche forecasting, observations, and education. is truly a community funded non-profit meaning they receive no USFS, state, and/or federal funding.
The Onward Project was founded by Geoff Babb, the creator and founder of the . We began our partnership with Geoff this summer, hosting several accessible guided tours at some of the most scenic locations in Central Oregon. The Onward Project and AdvenChair are committed to getting those with mobility challenges into the outdoors and we are beyond excited to be working with them towards that endeavor.
Our final cause is the Wanderlust Scholarship. Our scholarship’s goal is to empower those in our local community that may not have the access or resources to adventure to their heart’s desire. Through our scholarship we can allocate funds and resources to help those that are interested in guided outdoor adventures but simply don’t have the access.

When you book your tour with us, you are able to add donations to your reservation for whichever cause is closest to your heart! At the end of the season, Wanderlust will match all donations raised! If you would like to donate directly to one of our partners, head to our partner’s Instagram pages!

The Geminids Meteor Shower is one of the most plentiful meteor showers that grace our night skies each year! Cruising on snowshoes under the starlit sky, we will immerse ourselves in the winter wonderland of the Deschutes National Forest, enjoying a cup of delectable hot cocoa as we witness the Geminids Meteor Shower.

This December’s Geminids will be a mixture of nights where meteor sightings will be likely as well as nights where the equally stunning full moon will be shining brightly and limiting visibility.

Available December 4-7th, 13-15th & 19th ➡ You can learn more about the specifics of each night on the Geminids Snowshoe page! (link in bio)
