Easy climbs, open ridges and panoramic views from Mesa Butte, Curley Connector and Curley Sand trails allow surprisingly good outings for the short, cold days of winter. The shortest option, to the top of Mesa Butte and back, is only 3.4 km with just over 200 m of height gain. The whole ridge is 6.4 km and requires 2 vehicles, if you don’t want a 3.6 km road walk back to your car.
