Logger's Loop (Olive) is a cross-country ski route in New York, about 0.7 miles from the town of Paul Smiths. It is a short out-and-back, roughly half a mile long, with almost no elevation change. The route sits at about 1,680 feet, and the high and low points differ by just 9 feet, so it is a flat, low-effort ski. Winter is the natural season for this trail. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show January highs around 25°F with lows near 2°F, while March runs a bit milder at highs around 37°F. Summer is warm, with July highs near 77°F. The trail sits among several other ski routes. The Wood & Waters Trail (Red), Bobcat Trail (Yellow) and Barnum Brook Trail (Blue) all lie about 0.1 mile away. For a change of pace, the West Branch Saint Regis River offers canoeing about 8.6 miles off.
