Judged by many to be the best beginner trail, you'll find the Mother Hen (1.1 km) an easy trail: both short and flat. It takes off from Poki Loki in a counter-clockwise direction. Roy's Run (10.1 km) is a long trail, skied in a counter clockwise direction, which heads through the big timber country. As the land has been cut over, new growth is sprouting up, inviting a lot of deer back to this section, Keep your eyes peeled for deer or tracks. You might even be one of the lucky ones to spot a moose. Three packs of elusive brush wolves also work the country, but chances of seeing them are slim. The North Loup Trail (8.2 km) is a long-time favorite, with great hills and natural flow that heads you into the wild north country. The trail skirts around Dry Lake and returns to the country road known as the Goat Ranch road. CCSAA member.
