What I liked: Wide, 8 foot trail, great scenery, thickly wooded and nice rolling hills - nothing too steep. Great for all levels of skiers
What I disliked: Nothing
Comments: Beware: NO facilities at either parking lot - so drain your radiator before you arrive. Nearest attractions and food are in Petoskey - 12 miles west. Rumors that area is no longer groomed. But, you could see that it WAS groomed.
