Cross country skiing today in the Mesa Lakes area. I parked at a small lot that is right off the road about four miles before Grand Mesa Nordic. I first went behind the Mesa Lakes Ranger Station which is below the first large lake you get to. This trail isn't used much and it looked like I was the first skier since the snow. It is a fairly consistent downhill near the river with some steeper areas. I came back up this trail and then went around the dam to the West Branch Trail. I took this out to the top of Powder Horn and a little beyond. This trail has some small ups and downs. Mainly cruising in the forest with a few lake crossings. Very nice area! Across the street from the parking area is another area of trails to check out some day.
