Naomi Pape Trail

Naomi Pape Trail is a short, easy cross-country ski route in Wyoming, managed by the Bureau of Land Management and set within the Pinedale Field Office. The trail's elevation gain is minimal, with the high point at 7,449 feet and the low at 7,421 feet, and the climb peaks at about 3% grade roughly a tenth of a mile in. The out-and-back route is about 1.2 miles long and is best suited to skiers looking for a quick outing close to Pinedale. Winter is the natural season for this trail. Typical averages from the nearby Pinedale weather station show January highs around 28°F with lows near 2°F, while June and July run in the low 70s to 80s. That station sits about 240 feet below the trail's high point, so temperatures on the trail run a little cooler. CCC Ponds Trail is about 0.6 miles away for more skiing. Sandy Beach Picnic Area, Fremont Lake and Twin Towers all lie within roughly two miles, offering camping, climbing and fishing.
