Joachim Valley

    The Joachim Valley Trail winds through meadows and aspen forests offering lovely views of the mountains and foothills.  It is a popular destination for cross-country skiing.  The trail is well known for the remains of a small airplane once used in rescue training and a beautiful log shelter known as the Hanington Hut.
