This trail uses the Crystal Cruise Nordic Trail along the Kelly Canyon ski resort boundary, taking you up to Kelly Canyon proper. It's a good climb, and a quick downhill back to the parking area. The best use of this trail is a connector over from Sidewinder to gain access into the Kelly Canyon trail system.
