Larry Hall Trail is a short, back-loaded out-and-back cross-country ski route in western Maine, about 3.3 miles from the town of Dallas. The trail is 0.86 miles long, with a total climb of 160 feet and a high point of 2104 feet. The steepest stretch comes early, at about 0.19 miles in, with a 5% grade. Winter is the natural season for this trail. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Rangeley show January highs around 22°F with lows near 2°F, while July highs reach about 75°F. That station sits roughly 324 feet lower than the trail's high point, so temperatures on the trail run a little cooler. Moose Alley, a cross-country ski route, lies about half a mile away, and Fis-2 is about 0.7 miles off. For hiking, the Fly Rod Crosby Trail and Green Weaver Path are both about 0.7 miles from the trail.
