Northern Maine |
The best snowmobile
trail riding experience in the eastern United States.
Some trails in Aroostook are converted railroad beds,
while others may traverse a power line up and over large
rolling hills that capture the picturesque beauty of the
landscape. Summer roads, abandoned logging roads and
other club trails lead the snowmobiler to spectacular
sites of snow-laden spruce maple and birch forests. You
can snowmobile over the crest of a hill and look out at
the variety of terrain "The County" has to offer. The
snowmobile clubs in Aroostook County develop and
maintain their trails with the latest equipment. The
responsibility for maintaining over 1,600 miles of
trails is shared among 42 snowmobile clubs!

Petersville, AK |
Alaska snowmobiling is
breathtaking. Breathtaking is the word most used as
snowmobilers sit on a snow covered knoll, shadowed by
Mount McKinley/Denali, watching the Northern Lights
dance across the sky. It's not just Mount
McKinley/Denali it's also Mount Foraker and Mount
Hunter, two of the largest mountain peaks in the Alaska
range. Between the three mountains, the view is
unmatched! |
|
Mammoth Lakes, CA |
This area has beautiful
mountain scenery, pristine forests, amazing wildlife and
vast snowy expanses and its endless horizon of untracked
powder. Mammoth Lakes has 80 miles of groomed trails and
75,000 acres of open expanse. Take an exciting ride to
Lookout Mountain, the Inyo Craters or Bald Mountain.
Each year Mammoth Lakes receives some of the deepest
snowfall in the west. The abundance of snow creates
plenty of opportunity for snowmobiling in the area. Gas,
food and lodging are available in the town of Mammoth
Lakes. |
