High Point

A journey through quiet woods maximizing narrow, classic-only trails. Suitable for all levels but cumulative distance and elevation may take 2+ hrs for beginners.

Begin by following the meandering curves of Striders up to the start of Aqueduct. Alternatively, one could opt for Adventure, also classic-only. Chug on up Aqueduct to where it meets Gibbard's. Congrats, you've made it to the top of the loop.

From there, head up to Johan's Cabin for a rest (+2 km round-trip, flat) or start the descent on Gibbard's (rated green but exciting in fast conditions). Stay right and watch for ascending skiers. Pass Torresan's cabin, climb a short ways, and then finish with the peaceful Reservoir.
