Geminids Meteor Shower
Snowshoe Tour

December 2025 | Available Dec. 12th - 14th | Friday - Sunday

ABOUT

Adventure & Naturalist Guided Experience: The Geminids Meteor Shower is one of the most plentiful meteor showers that grace our night skies each year! Cruising on snowshoes under the night sky, we will immerse ourselves in the winter wonderland of the Deschutes National Forest, enjoying a cup of delectable hot cocoa as we meander through the powdery snow! During our adventure, our incredible Naturalist Guides may share the history of trapping on snowshoes or the invention of snowshoeing by Native Americans. The hushed ambiance of the forest coupled with the glimmer of starlight dancing off of winter’s white blanket will surely leave you and your group inspired!

Location: Snowshoeing tours take place in the areas around Mt. Bachelor and the surrounding Deschutes National Forest of the Cascade Mountain Range of Oregon. New to off-trail snowshoeing? Let Wanderlust Tours do the driving and teach you fun snowshoeing techniques and tricks. All tours include instruction. Wear winter boots and powder/ski pants to keep your feet and legs dry while snowshoeing.

The astronomical forecast for this December’s Geminids is excellent! Peaking on Saturday, December 13th with the moon below the horizon throughout the night, the Geminids are in perfect position to truly shine! The days surrounding the peak are also forecasted to have good visibility with the waning moon sitting below the horizon through the night.

The Geminids Meteor Shower begins Dec. 4th and ends Dec. 20th, peaking on Dec. 13th. If you are unable to join us from the 12-14th, our Starlight & Moonlight Snowshoe Tour from Dec. 4-20th will still hold the opportunity to see meteors!

Can’t make it for the 12-14th? The meteor shower begins Dec. 4th and ends on Dec. 20th and those other nights will also have the potential for meteor sightings. Please book our Starlight Snowshoe Tour for any other days.
