Keweenaw Peninsula Trail Report – 01/21
KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Western & Southern UP Trail Reports – 01/21 <> <> KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Keweenaw Trail Reports – 01/21 Groomer Operators are pretty much back in full swing grooming trails for riders each day and night. There was a pause to grooming operations due to limited snowfall there for awhile. Previously we had mentioned that trail 135 was in pretty poor condition, Josh has said he has been able to groom it the past two nights and it is getting better. He also said that Brockway Mountain still had some thin areas and of course drifting with the winds we have had. Riders have all been commenting that the mountain was in good shape and the views are amazing! ✅ Trail 124 (previously closed for logging) is now OPEN. There was a water hole on this trail also but It has been filled in and appears to be holding strong 🤞 huge thanks to the Groomer Operators working so hard on this one ⛔ Trail 133 is closed for the entire season due to logging ⛔ Trail 3 from Dollar Bay to Lake Linden is closed due to the Father’s Day flood of 2018. You can still access Lake Linden from Calumet ⛔The Freda Loop – Trails 120 & 121 are also still closed due to the Father’s Day Flood of 2018 ⚠ if you are planning to try to ride out to High Rock Bay, please use extreme caution as the water hole is still an issue. Groomer Operators have worked on filling this in several times and will continue to do so. Hopefully with a good freeze and more snowfall they will be able to get the hole locked up. Scroll down the page to read other rider reviews of trails and see their photos! Please feel free to share your photos and riding experiences with us and as always, let us know if we can help with anything when planning a trip to the area. <> Keweenaw Trail Reports on Facebook >>>> <> KEWEENAW PENINSULA UPDATE via Western UP Trail Reports >> Now that we are finally getting snow you can follow it live on our web cam.

The recent snowfall this week has enabled them to resume their schedules and trails are shaping up nicely, as you can see from these photos! Groomer Operator Joshua Rowe Sr. was one operator out all night and these are a few photos of those ribbon 🎀 trails he was laying.
All other trails are open and will lead you to so many breathtakingly, beautiful areas to view all that the Keweenaw has to offer!

The first polar front will sweep through the Midwest on Thanksgiving day bringing temperatures 10 to 15 degrees below average. Lows below zero are expected for some across the north and in the single digits down to I80. Highs this weekend will only be in the single digits and teens for areas down to I80. Dangerous wind chills of -20 degrees or colder are increasingly likely, especially north of I90. The graphic below shows the temperatures on Sunday morning.
Another polar front will move through next week bringing even colder temperatures. Expect reinforcing shots of very cold air over the next couple of weeks. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsarea #petoskey #gaylord #cadillac #traversecity~First Polar Front Thanksgiving~

Before anyone gets on the "SEE CLIMATE CHANGE IS FAKE" train... one of these below average maps DOES NOT negate the other 500 above average ones. Trends, folks. Trends. Nothing is a straight line. The warming temperature trend line is full of peaks and valleys with an overall increasing trend. 🙂 #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsarea #petoskey #gaylord #cadillac #traversecityI need to post this image again because WOW. I can't recall the last time nearly all of the United States was forecast to be below average.

After Thanksgiving, a large portion of the U.S. will likely see below normal temperatures into early December. And of course, there's southern Florida. 🌞
