The trail is good for snowshoes as well as skis but may be trying in the winter with just pack boots. We chose to do an"out and back" but the trail eventually meets a tunnel and you can return via the paved bike path along the lake.  <img alt="Summit ski trip and activity suggestion" hspace="0" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3214/3145462306_b0efef0b92.jpg?v=0" align="baseline" border="0" />  For more information on things to do in Summit County, please visit the SnowHome website.<img alt="Ski trip to Summit county" hspace="0" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3119/3144634615_f452fb06aa.jpg?v=0" align="baseline" border="0" />  9 application/xml false activites Colorado cross-country easy trail Oro Grande Ski Summit County winter fun Oro Grande Trail A Summit County Explorer article on the Easy and Fun trail http://www.summitcountyexplorer.com/HIKES/Oro%20Grande%20-%20Hiking%20Trail.htm Lake Dillon The Denver Water board site http://www.denverwater.org/recreation/dillon.html Ten Mile Range Detail of the whole range http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tenmile_Range Gore Mountain Range Great photos of the gore range http://www.theronwelch.com/mountains/gore/ Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; .NET CLR 2.0.50727) 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 jbrewer 71.211.128.88 false true false false true 205866 false false true false false false true 78724 blog blogsite/SnowHome/web
