Description

This trail is popular with snowmobilers and cross-country skiers. Since there are a variety of user groups that use the groomed trail, it is requested that caution and consideration be used while enjoying the trail.

There is ample parking at Rose Springs Sno-Park and the Boundary for trailers. The groomed trail along the Mountain Road offers an access route to the middle section of the District with many opportunities for the users to break off on to side roads or open areas for snow play. At Misery Junction, there is a snow shelter available for use by Forest visitors at Teal Campground and Mount Misery Junction.

No wheeled traffic allowed on groomed trail.

Sno-park parking permit required.

The groomed section along Mountain Road #40 is well maintained for snowmobiles, cross-country skiers, and other snow enthusiasts. The trail is characterized by a double groom width for easier passage, well marked trail signs along the route, and generally follows along at a gentle incline from the Boundary to Mount Misery. The trail does narrow on the bypass behind Sunset Point.
