B Loop

B Loop is a short cross-country skiing loop in Wyoming's Medicine Bow-Routt National Forest, within the Laramie Ranger District. The route is 0.32 miles long, with a total elevation gain of 34 feet and a total loss of 93 feet. It is a hard ski route, and its front-loaded climb profile means the steepest stretch comes early, at about 0.18 miles in, with a 4% grade. The loop sits at a low point of 8,831 feet and a high of 8,874 feet. Winter conditions here are severe, with typical January highs around 33°F and lows near 12°F at a nearby weather station in Laramie. That station sits about 1,500 feet lower, so temperatures on the loop run cooler. Late spring and early fall are the most comfortable times to visit, with typical highs in the low 70s in June and September. Miner's Loop and Summit Loop are both about 0.2 miles away, and Browns Landing Trail is a mountain biking route at the same distance. For camping, Pole Creek Group Campground is about 1.4 miles off.
