Near the end of November (while the trails were still open) we went to the upper trailhead just off the Lac le Jeune Road and we hiked a loop route on the Ironmask Trails.   We saw a couple of late-season bikers on the trails, but we were breaking trail on the snow for most of the way.    It was a cool, sunny, and breezy day for 2 hours of hiking.

These are nice shoulder season hiking trails with single track trails winding through open forests and over open hilltops.

The bike trails wind a lot, providing easy grades for uphill routes.    Our hike was 7.5 km, a good distance for a pre-winter hike.

On the following day I returned to the trails to hike a different route, around the hills in a counter-clockwise direction, completing a loop route in 1.5 hours.

Some images from both hikes are provided here in a Google Photos album (link) and embedded here as a slideshow.

 

It should be noted that the trails closed on Nov. 30 for the season (more information).
