B&B Mine Trail is a short cross-country ski route in Colorado's White River National Forest, within the Dillon Ranger District and the B&B Mines, Golden Horseshoe area. The trail is on county land, and it covers less than a mile from a low point of about 9,940 feet to a high of about 10,140 feet, with a total elevation gain of 200 feet. Winter is the natural season for this trail. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at Fairplay run from highs around 31°F in December and January to about 71°F in July, with January lows near 10°F. That station sits at nearly the same elevation as the trail's low point, so temperatures on the higher end of the route run a little cooler. The Reiling Dredge and Turks mountain biking trails are each about 0.1 mile away. Raspberry Boulders and the Blue River, a paddling route, are both about 2.9 miles off.
