MCI Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Family is thinking about going to Ely over presidents weekend, wondering how far via sleds it is to the Tresle Inn from Ely? Im looking for time vs miles, I realialze it depends on how fast you drive but ball park would be great. we have some time to get more snow before we head up, but does anyone have currant trail/snow conditions? thanks.

leech~~ Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Well since no one else is giving any ideas. I would think on a nice day with the family making stops at outhouse and warming houses it maybe about a 2.5 to 3 hrs there. But the last time I did it was a full blown blizzered at night and took us about 4hrs since we could not even see the trail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCI Posted January 14, 2016 Author Share Posted January 14, 2016 Thanks Leech, that should work great for us. thinking of hitting the inn for a lunch stop after we leave Ely. now i just hope they have enough snow when we get there. leech~~ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xplorer Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Its about 65 miles (I know you said time but.....) from Ely to the Trestle. I would say leech is about right on for a nice family ride. Its one of my favorite sections of trail, never know what you're gonna see along there. Seen moose, fisher, ermine, deer and lots of wolf tracks in the past. leech~~ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure where MCI will be able to top off to head back up to Ely unless they head down to the Shore. I don't think there's any gas in Isabella the last I remember in the winter?
