Grouse
This trail is marked with pink ribbon and heads west behind the north hut. Mainly in pine forest but some variety, some steep sections, and lots of changes from sheltered low areas to views on more open ridges (old stabilized dunes). We flagged a 2.2 km extension loop (Snowy owl trail) at the west end with yellow ribbon. The pink trail is a bit longer than others but comfortably done in less than a couple of hours. Add an hour for the extension that crosses a ski trail so watch for skiers and be careful to step over the tracks. Take munchies and find a log to sit on for a break! Lots of wildlife sign including bobcat tracks in the snow. Squirrels doing their thing everywhere so watch your snacks!
