All Loops is a cross-country ski route in New York, about 1.2 miles from the village of Saranac Lake. It is an out-and-back loop with a total length of about 0.38 miles and an elevation gain of 37 feet, so it's easy to fit into a longer day on the ski trails around town. The route starts and ends at nearly the same level, with a low point of 1,677 feet and a high of 1,710 feet. The steepest part comes early, at about 0.05 miles in, with a grade of 7 percent, and the trail is mostly flat after that. Winter is the natural season for cross-country skiing here. Typical averages from the Ray Brook weather station, about 2.8 miles away, show January highs around 23°F with lows near 5°F. Late spring and early fall are milder, with June highs near 70°F and September highs around 66°F. Dogs are allowed on a leash. Other cross-country ski routes within about a quarter mile include Keough's K and Peanuts, and the Twister hike is also close by.
