Crossroads at Big Creek provides 7 total miles of year-round recreational trails.
SUMMER:
The trails are open 24 hours per day and every day of the week. Pets and bicyclists are welcome. In order for the Crossroads experience to be positive for the greatest number of trail users, we ask our visitors to follow the Trail Etiquette Guidelines listed below.
WINTER:
Five miles of ski trails are maintained for Nordic skiing with both classic and skate lanes. Crossroads staff use Yellowstone grooming equipment to insure that the trail conditions at the Crossroads are generally superior, even at times when snow conditions elsewhere are marginal or icy. Trails usage is free, but donations are cheerfully accepted in the contributions box at the trail head. Two miles of separate hiking trails are provided for snowshoe enthusiasts. Snowshoes can be used off-trail.
