| TrailHead: | Trail 148 at Oldman Pass or Koshko Sno*Parks |

| TrailHead: | Trail 148 at Oldman Pass or Koshko Sno*Parks (also from across the Wind River Highway at McClellan Meadows Sno*Park) |
| Scenic Attractions: | This loop incorporates both groomed and ungroomed trail, mostly through deep forest. In most conditions it is easier to ski the loop counter clockwise.

| TrailHead: | Trail 148 at Oldman Pass or Koshko Sno*Parks or Trail 150 at McClellan Meadows Sno*Park |
| Scenic Attractions: | This is the most popular loop in the area. Follow Trail 148 on the west side of the highway and return via Trail 150 on the east side (or vise versa). The entire loop is groomed and follows undulating forested terrain. The loop can be shortened by cutting across Wind River Highway at McClellan Meadows Sno*Park. |

Road 3055 offer views of Wind River valley and peak at Mt. Hood. Two new bridges on Trail 151 cross Wind River and a tributary. Side trails offer interesting routes for snowshoers. |
