Cold Weather Camping: It’s Not That Bad!

View all City Cast Denver episodes

As the weather changes and we turn toward our favorite snowy outdoor activities, camping is often left out of the picture. But beyond skiing, snowboarding, and maybe snowshoe trekking, have you ever considered pitching a tent in the high country during the winter months? Patricia Cameron — writer and executive director of Blackpackers — thinks you should. Coming off a trip to Alaska where she camped on a glacier, the outdoor expert returns to the show to talk with host Bree Davies about why camping in the snow can be fun (and actually isn’t that much different than sleeping in the great outdoors any other time of year!).


Patricia mentioned this winter camping guide she wrote a few years ago for the Denver Post. 


Bree promised some last-minute help finding your nearest polling place and ballot drop-off
