Diverse terrain and alpine scenes are the setting for this mild mountain bike ride or winter ski route. Click here for printable information and map.
Tall conifers and high meadows frame the remains of historic cabins as you ride. The mixed forest here is majestic when the leaves change during the cool days of fall. The brilliant gold of aspen trees is remarkable if you happen to catch them at their peak. You will share the area with resident wildlife including wild turkey, elk, deer, coyotes and black bears.
When conditions allow, this trail is groomed for winter cross-country skiing. At times when grooming is not available, it makes for a great backcountry ski or snowshoe route.
Drive south on Hwy. 191 from Alpine for 23 miles to Forest Road (FR) 576 (¼ mile north of Hannagan Lodge). The trail begins here, takes a turn to the right and follows the power lines.
