Keweenaw Peninsula Trail Report – 03/12
KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Western UP Trail Reports – 03/12 It’s a beautiful morning on Michigan’s Keweenaw Peninsula! There are currently two Groomer Operators out on the trails north of Mohawk and it’s 17 degrees 👏! Photos are of yesterday’s ride after Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday’s warm temps and a lot of rain on Wednesday. As you can see from the photos, trails were still in decent condition and all riders we talked to yesterday were also very happy with conditions. The views were amazing as always! As I stated last night, by late afternoon/early evening 3 had become pretty whooped up. Groomers ARE currently out! Checkout the Groomer Tracker app to see the status of trails if you are riding the area.

I would still currently recommend staging somewhere north or south of the bridge as getting through Houghton/Hancock is not advised.

It was a very snowy and cold day to be out riding. Better than half my run was in white out conditions which made it very difficult to even see the trail at times.
Due to the severe weather we will pause grooming for the next couple of nights.
