Bowling Alley

Bowling Alley is a cross-country ski route in Minnesota, about 1.9 miles from the town of Mora. It's a short, easy outing with a low climb, an out-and-back path of about 1.1 miles and a total gain of 64 feet, so it works well as a quick addition to a day on the snow. Winter is the natural season for this trail. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Mora put January highs around 21°F with lows near 1°F, while March warms to highs around 39°F. The station sits at nearly the same elevation as the trail, so its figures are a fair guide to conditions on the snow. Roger's Ridge and Amy's Alley both lie about 0.1 mile away, and North Oaks and the Lake Trail are within a mile.
