Comments
Comments: This is a nice network of trails. Total trail distance is over nine miles of many short interconnecting trails and a few somewhat longer ones. We made sure to check out two of the main attractions, the Harris Hill Ski Jump and the Retreat Tower. The old stone tower is permanently closed unfortunately. The Olympic size ski jump is active for international competition one weekend per year in mid February. Links to the trail map and some information is below.
