Last Updated: May 9, 2008

Spring has Sprung and we are "officially closed" after a great winter season. Thank you all for helping to make the winter of 2007-08 our BEST yet!

Because the conditions are still so great, we groomed the Callaghan Mainline, Parkway, Upper  / Lower Wild Spirit and Meadows Loop today.

Trail use is by donation, so come on up and enjoy some great late season XC conditions! Rise and shine because trail conditions are best in the morning. Be sure to pack enough food and water as the lodge is closed for the season.

Please note that for safety reasons, this will be the last weekend of trail grooming in Callaghan Country as the Recreation Order prohibiting motorized recreation in the Upper Callaghan expires on May 15th.

Please remember that Callaghan Country is located in a mountainous environment. Nordic trails in our area may be more difficult than those you might find elsewhere. You will find hills on all of our trails...some rather steep. Please observe the trail ratings and feel free to ask us for more detail before you head out!

Be sure to pack enough food and water for your day as the lodge is no longer open for lunch and our base office / warming hut is closed as well.
