Segelsen Road is a short, easy cross-country ski route in the Darrington Ranger District of Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest in Washington, managed by the Forest Service. The route is about half a mile long, with a total elevation gain of about 60 feet, and it makes a quick out-and-back from the low point at 1,517 feet to the high point at 1,588 feet. The climb is front-loaded, with the steepest stretch at about 8% grade near the start. Winter is the natural season for this route. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Darrington show January highs around 40°F with lows near 30°F, and the station sits well below the route, so temperatures on the road run cooler. The closest neighbors are the North Fork Stillaguamish River and Ashton Creek, both canoeing spots about 3.5 to 4 miles away. Round Mountain #664 is a hike about 4.4 miles off, and Clear Creek Campground is about 6.3 miles away.
