trail from Mount Werner to Long Lake and functions to compliment the
existing trails in the area by forming a loop. Mountain View Trail
connects 25 miles of summer use trails within the Steamboat Ski Area to a
system of Forest Service trails including
Fish Creek Trail #1102, Wyoming Trail #1101 and Percy Lake Trail
#1134. |

310.
