Trail Mix is a short, easy cross-country ski route in northern Wisconsin, about 0.2 miles long and nearly flat, with a high point of 1,609 feet and a low of 1,598 feet. It sits roughly 3 miles from the town of Malvern, and the route is so brief that it works well as a quick addition to a longer outing in the area. Winter is the natural season for this trail. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Rhinelander show January highs around 21°F with lows near 2°F, while March runs warmer at about 38°F. The station sits at nearly the same elevation as the trail, so its figures are a fair guide to conditions on the snow. Several other cross-country ski routes lie within a short distance. Butterfly Grove, Acorn Hallow and Hill Side are each about 0.1 miles away, and Trail Of Wonder is a little farther at 0.1 miles.
