Dawn Mountain Nordic Trails
The Dawn Mountain Nordic Trails have been developed by the BC forest Service
and the Golden Outdoor Recreation Association's Nordic Club. The Club maintains
the day use shelter track sets approximately 18 kilometers of trail for classic
technique.
Membership and donations to support grooming and track setting are
extremely important to the club to offset the costs of providing these services.

Getting to The Trails

the week the road may be barred by an unlocked gate. Skiers may go through but

area. The Nordic Trails are located at the base of the ski area adjacent to the
