Description: Maples Loop Nordic Trail is a National Forest Service Trail below Snowbasin Ski Resort. The area is forested with mixed aspen, fir, spruce, and pine. The trail formerly was a dirt road that led to Maples Camground years ago when the camground was an overnight camping area.

Directions: Maples Loop Nordic Trail is just below the northernmost Snowbasin Ski Resort parking lot [Parking Lot #3]. The trailhead is at the farthest corner from the parking lot entrance. Snowbasin is accessed from SR-167, Trapper's Loop, that runs between the town of Mountain Green in Morgan County and Huntsville in Weber County.

Birds: Red-naped Sapsucker, Downy and Hairy Woodpeckers, Flammulated Owl, both Chickadees, Broad-tailed Hummingbirds, MacGillivray's Warblers, Orange-crowned Warblers, House Wrens, Lazuli Buntings.

Other: You may either walk down the trail nearly a mile to the open area of the old campground and return to the trailhead, or follow the trail signs to other National Forest Service trails.
