Herning Trail 11/24/09

[BLB]

Well after our little trip to Zero Lake with the ATV's yesterday we decided to take the snowmachines out today.

The Herning trail is an old mining/shipment trail from the late 1800's. The trail originally went from Kink area out to Willow. Currently there is only 15.5 miles of the trail left (rest is currently the Parks Hwy) that spreads from Huston to Willow that is used primarly for Dog Mushing. I accidently crossed the trail a few years back while on ATV's in the area. It's a great trail to take on snowmachines but please be aware of any Dog Teams in the area.

There is still not much snow in the area, around 6-8 inches, so we will wait one more snowfall to complete the trail system we normally take, cross above Hatchers Pass and loop Bench Lake (70 mile ride). Was a great day for a ride with sunny skies and warm weather:party:

I told you on the last thread I thought lol. We went a different way this time but made it about 2 miles or so past the sign. All swamps are frozen and the snow is not deep at all. We rode about 25miles in all. The day prior we went in from Zero Lake side but did not make it to the Herning Trail connection. This time we went from the start of the trail in Huston and made it almost to Willow side Hatchers. I am working today but not sure if we are going to run anything Friday. As it looks right now I might be going tube'n on Friday but who knows.
