The trail is short and low, with a total round-trip distance of about half a mile and a total climb of about 42 feet. It is rated moderate, and the route is an out-and-back that starts and ends at roughly 1,575 feet, with a high point of about 1,594 feet. Winter is the natural season for this trail. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Drummond put January highs around 19°F with lows near 3°F, while February runs a little warmer at about 25°F. The station sits a few hundred feet lower than the trail, so temperatures on the route run slightly cooler. Several other ski routes lie close by.
