A little known fact is that the Methow Trails system is indeed THE largest cross-country trail system in North America! While another U.S. trail system boasts their 140 km of trails, Methow Trails include over 220 km of groomed winter recreation trails, and 200 km of those are expressly dedicated to Nordic skiing. 

Quick Facts:

  • Free skiing for kids 17 and under, and seniors 75+
  • 175 landowners graciously allow easements for public trail access, making the community trail system the largest in North America 
  • 11 trailheads
  • Over 210 days of sunshine every year

Soooo, if you love this sport as much as we do, you'll head their way this Winter!
