BLM describes a roughly six-mile pathway loop into town, but this guide selects only a short separated paved return and does not certify the full loop’s crossings. In winter, parts of the pathway are groomed for cross-country skiing. Do not assume snow grooming creates a usable or bicycle-permitted winter ride; postpone when snow-covered or follow actual seasonal controls.
