Skiing

Cross-country skiers will find several marked, ungroomed trails (all above the rim), including the Fairyland Loop Trail, which leads 1 mile through a pine and juniper forest to the Fairyland Point Overlook. From here you can take the 1-mile Forest Trail back to the road, or continue north along the rim for another 1.2 miles to the park boundary.

There are also connections to ski trails in the adjacent national forest.

Stop at the visitor center for additional trail information, and go to Best Western Ruby's Inn, just north of the park entrance (tel. 866/866-6616 or 435/834-5341; www.rubysinn.com), for information on cross-country ski trails and snowmobiling opportunities outside the park. Ruby's grooms over 30 miles of ski trails, and also rents cross-country ski equipment.
