I enjoyed my day snow shoeing in Callaghan Country. It is on your left side (if coming from the Vancouver area) 15 minutes south of Whistler. The signs are well posted. There is a fee to snow shoe here but well worth it. We went early on a BC holiday day and to our surprise the cost was 50 % cheaper. You can get a map from the lodge and there is lots of parking. The trails are amazing! It is graded by Easy, Moderate or Difficult. Each trail has a name and some you can do just the one loop or you can combine a couple to make the loop longer. What I really liked was all the trails are groomed, very well marked and easy to get around. On this day we did two trails together for a total of 6 km. The trail crosses over the cross country trails but everyone was very kind as we shared the trails. I would rate this snow show a great starter for your kids and they could do easy trails and depending on what age possibly the moderate trails. There are streams to see, some frozen, views & The Olympic Village. It is peaceful and a beautiful place to be. We barely saw any people on the trail in the middle of the season. Happy & safe snow shoeing trails! For more information: http://www.whistler.com/nordic/callaghan/
