Morefoot is a short, easy cross-country ski route on the Boyne Highlands Resort Golf Course in Michigan, managed by private landowners. The course sits within the resort's golf course area, and the route is about 0.3 miles long, with a total elevation gain of 38 feet. It is an out-and-back with a front-loaded climb, peaking at about 760 feet, and the steepest stretch comes near the beginning at about 2%. Winter is the natural season for this trail. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at Petoskey run from highs around 26°F in January to about 37°F in March, with February the driest month of the year. That station sits at nearly the same elevation as the route, so its figures are a fair guide to conditions on the course. Several other cross-country ski routes lie within a mile. Hedrick Road is about 0.7 miles away, and Blue Bottle Trail, Wester Ross and Tree Tops Trail are each under a mile off. For a change of pace, the Iron Belle Trail is about 9 miles away.
