Daily Trail Report for 2.12.26. Coming into Wilson, driving by the east fields Wednesday morning, I saw two moose browsing. The very icons of this weekend’s upcoming Moose Chase! While technically we do want to give them their space, not actually chase them, it is one of the spectacular things of cross-country skiing at Trail Creek—the opportunity to see these beautiful strong creatures in the winter. Two moose at Trail Creek and the Moose Chase… Read More

May we each steadily step out onto winter trails this week and see the growth of the snowbanks and in ourselves as we embrace whatever comes our way.

Daily Trail Report for 2.7.26. Finding balance can be as simple, or as tricky, as standing on a pair of skis. We shift our weight, make small adjustments, and forward motion carries us through. Out on the trail, nature is doing the same quiet work of balance: predators and prey, growth and rest, each playing a role in keeping the whole system healthy. Spending time outside reminds us that balance isn’t about standing perfectly still,… Read More

The Mountains Are Calling

And you must go!

Daily Trail Report for 2.3.26. “Mountains should be climbed with as little effort as possible and without desire. The reality of your own nature should determine the speed. If you become restless, speed up. If you become winded, slow down. You climb the mountain in an equilibrium between rest and exhaustion. Then, when you’re no longer thinking ahead, each footstep isn’t a means to an end but a unique event in itself.” -Robert Pirsig, Zen and… Read More
