Description:
A longer circuit of the Sandy McNabb Ski Trails on the north side of Highway 546. Theoretically, any of the ski trails shown on the sketch map can be walked, but in practice, some are two wet or muddy, particularly after snow melt and during June rains. Cattle plodding along the trails to get to the meadows and salt licks doesn’t help either. Fall is generally the best time.
