Candyland is a cross-country ski route in Colorado, about a mile from the town of Resurrection Mill. The route is short and easy, with a total climb of 32 feet over about a mile, so it works well as a quick outing or a warm-up before heading to other trails in the area. Winter is the natural season for skiing here. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at Leadville show January highs around 30°F with lows near 5°F, while July highs reach about 71°F. The station sits a few hundred feet lower than the route, so temperatures on the ski trail run slightly cooler. Cutoff and Swoop are both cross-country ski routes within a third of a mile. Leadville RV Corral is about 0.8 miles away for camping, and Crystal Lake Fishing Site is roughly 3.5 miles off for anglers.
