Larry Hall Trail is a short, moderate cross-country ski route in western Maine, about 2.8 miles from the town of Dallas. The trail is an out-and-back that covers roughly 0.6 miles, with a total elevation gain of about 53 feet. The climb is front-loaded, with the steepest stretch at about 0.1 mile from the start, and the high point sits at 1,898 feet. 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 March runs a bit milder at highs around 33°F. The station sits a few hundred feet lower than the trail, so temperatures on the higher ground run slightly cooler. The trail sits among a cluster of other cross-country ski routes, including Geneva Loop, Lake Trail and Zapolsky Trail, all about 0.1 mile away. For a change of pace, the Fly Rod Crosby Trail is a hike about 1.9 miles off.
