Happy New Year!
Greetings everyone! Welcome to 2012.
The hostel is open weekends and ready for business. Good snow continues to elude us, but there is plenty of hiking to do. Next week we have the Lantern ski and snowshoe event through the park. It may be more of a hiking based event, but it's still beautiful! Join us!
