4. Snowshoeing

Take to the area's trails, or trek your own through the sparkling snow-covered grounds of Bay Harbor. Snowshoes are included with your stay, and make it easy to traverse the deep winter snow and discover your favorite winter views together. Plus, it's a great excuse to warm up with hot cocoa back at the Inn.
