About
The Sunlight Mountain Resort Nordic Trails, located in Babbish Gulch near Glenwood Springs, offer cross-country skiing and snowshoeing on a maintained network of over 29 kilometers of trails. Situated at an elevation of 8,800 feet, the trails are clearly marked for beginner, intermediate, and advanced skiers.
