A 4 kilometer loop goes around the natural meadows. An additional 6 kilometer loop takes you down to Alberta Reservior and back through the trees. Tracks are groomed regularly for both classical and skate skiers. Snowshoers are welcome. Please clean up after your dogs. Use of the cross country trail is compliments of Wolf Creek Ski Area — no charge. Please allow enough time to complete the tour well before dark. This area is not patrolled — please take a friend. |
