Several miles of Section 16 were rerouted in 2011.  Please review the updated Section Description and Map posted below.

 

Section 16: Widow's Clearing Trail to the Bridges Trail


Snapshot:
This varied section begins on an ungroomed trail within the Green Mountain National Forest, traverses the groomed trails of Middlebury College's Rikert X-C Ski Center, then follows a new back country route through National Forest before finishing on a snowmobile corridor trail.   

Length:  9.7 miles (10.2 to/from Natural Turnpike Winter Parking)

Difficulty: 
This is an easy-to-intermediate ski with some short steeper portions on the new back country section. The terrain is rolling; there are multiple access points; and the middle of the route is groomed ski trail.
