Fierce Fisher Loop is a cross-country skiing loop in Maine, about 1.6 miles from the town of Monson. The route is short and easy, covering less than a mile with a total elevation gain of 72 feet. It is a loop, so you return to your starting point, and the climb is front-loaded, with the steepest stretch at about 0.3 miles in. Winter is the natural season for this trail. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Greenville show January highs around 23°F with lows near 5°F, while December and February run only slightly milder. The station sits about 226 feet higher than the loop, so temperatures on the trail may run a little warmer. Several other cross-country ski routes lie within a short distance, including Accipiter Alley Loop, Bobcat Blaze and T-Rex Loop, all about 0.1 mile away. For a hike, Wolf Chase Loop is also about 0.1 mile off.
