Meet at the Skyway TH parking lot on highway 65 at 9:30am. Carpools from Montrose and Grand Junction will be arranged prior to the trip.
This trip is in conjunction with Brenda's Nordic skiing trip. We may or may not be following their group. The plan is to park at the Skyway TH parking lot and snowshoe on groomed trails approximately a 5-mile loop. See this page for a trail map. The Grand Mesa Nordic Council asks for a daily donation of $20 per person to maintain and groom the trails. You may submit a donation online. If you anticipate skiing frequently at the GM, consider becoming a member and making a yearly donation of $100 per person. No dogs in this area.
Snowshoer etiquette reminder: in groomed nordic areas, walk single file along the outside of the skate lane and especially not in the groomed tracks.
Required Equipment
Snowshoes, poles, layers, lunch, 10 essentials.
