Description

Marie Springs is a shorter trail in the Highwood Mountains that connects the north and south sections of the Windy Mountain Loop. Although it doesn't gain or lose much elevation, it has two, punchy climbs and descents.

Along the trail, riders will experience a mix of spruce/pine forests and open sage meadows.
