Segelsen Road is a short, easy cross-country ski route in Washington, managed by the State Department of Natural Resources. The out-and-back trip covers about 0.44 miles, with the high point at 983 feet and the low at 975 feet, so the climb is almost flat. It's a quick outing, and the route is rated easy. Winter is the natural season for skiing here. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Darrington show January highs around 40°F with lows near 30°F, and the station sits about 430 feet lower than the route, so temperatures on the road run a little cooler. Several other outdoor spots lie within a few miles. Round Mountain and Ashton Creek are both about 3 miles away, and the Neiderprum Trail is about 4.5 miles off. For an overnight stay, Clear Creek Campground is roughly 7 miles away.
