Naomi Pape Trail

The Naomi Pape Trail is a short, flat cross-country ski route on Bureau of Land Management land within the Pinedale Field Office in Wyoming, about half a mile from the Pinedale ranger district. The trail is an out-and-back of about a mile, with a low point of 7,422 feet and a high of 7,441 feet, so it is easy to fit into a morning or afternoon on the snow. Winter is the natural season for this trail. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Pinedale show January highs around 28°F and lows near 2°F, while summer highs reach the low 80s. The station sits a few hundred feet lower than the trail, so temperatures on the route run slightly cooler. The CCC Ponds Trail lies just 0.2 miles away, and the Sandy Beach Picnic Area is about 0.8 miles off. Twin Towers, a climbing area, is 1.5 miles away, and Fremont Lake campground is about 4 miles from the trail.
