Bridge Trail is a short cross-country ski route in Theodore Wirth Regional Park in Minnesota, on land managed by City Land. It runs 0.43 miles one way and is rated moderate. Most skiers ski it as an out-and-back of about 0.86 miles. The terrain is flat. The one-way stat shows no elevation gain, and the full round trip adds up to only about 38 feet of climbing as the route rolls gently between roughly 821 and 833 feet. The trail starts near its high point at about 832 feet. The steepest pitch, around 0.35 miles in, reaches only about a 2 percent grade. Midwinter is the heart of the ski season here. A nearby weather station in New Hope reports typical January highs around 24°F and lows near 7°F, with February only slightly milder at highs near 29°F. Bridge Trail links easily with other ski routes in the park. Trail 18 Stadium is about 0.1 miles away, and Tornado Alley, La Squadra Loop and the Lesson Areas are all within about 0.2 miles.
