North To Norway is a cross-country skiing route in Montana's Custer Gallatin National Forest, within the Bozeman Ranger District. The Forest Service manages the land, and the trail is short, about 0.9 miles round trip, with a total climb of roughly 250 feet from the low point at 6,412 feet to the high at 6,529 feet. The route is rated hard. The climb is steepest near the beginning, with a grade of about 9 percent at about 0.25 miles. The route is an out-and-back, and the return brings the same descent, so the total gain and loss are both about 250 feet. For cross-country skiers, the Brackett Return and Brackett Creek Trail lie within half a mile, and the South Fork Brackett Creek hike is about 0.2 miles away. Climbers will find Wolverine Bowl about 1.5 miles off.
