Cal's Run is a short cross-country ski route in New Hampshire, about a mile from the town of Wolfeboro. It is a flat out-and-back trail of roughly 0.28 miles, with a low point at 581 feet and a high point at 605 feet. The climb is minimal, with only about 17 feet of total gain and loss, and the steepest stretch comes at about 2% grade early on the route. Winter is the natural season for this trail. January and February typically bring highs around 30 to 34 degrees and snow on about six to seven days a month, based on typical averages from a nearby weather station in Lakeport. Spring warms quickly, with April highs near 56 degrees and snow on only one day. The trail sits close to several other cross-country ski routes, including Amber's Frolic, The Schuss, Lookout Loop and Mountain View Loop, all within about 0.2 miles. Climbers can find Indigenous Wall about 4 miles away.
