There are a number of great ski trails in the Old Faithful area, but the Spring Creek Trail is one of our favorites. After being dropped off at the Divide Trailhead by a snowcoach, we will ski 7-8 miles back to the lodge. The trail meanders along the creek through deep forests and narrow canyons before emerging at a bridge across the Firehole river. From there, it’s a quick 1 mile to Lonestar Geyser, where we’ll eat lunch and hope the geyser erupts (which it does every 3 hours or so). After that, we continue on the Howard Eaton Trail, which climbs gently through mature lodgepole forest and then descends briskly through an overgrown burn area back to the lodge. You can also take the groomed ski track back to the Lonestar Trailhead and then the single track Kepler Cascades trail to get back to the lodge. It’s easier terrain, but a tad longer.
