Fossil Creek Trail, in the White Mountains National Recreation Area, is an 18.8 mile trail maintained for winter snowmobiling, skiing, dog mushing, snowshoeing, and fat-biking.
Fossil Creek Trail starts at the north end of Wickersham Creek Trail near the Borealis-LeFevre Cabin on the north side of Beaver Creek Wild and Scenic River. The trail heads north through a broad, open valley and spruce forests and rolling hills before dropping into the Fossil Creek drainage. The Fossil Creek Trail will pass the junction with the Fossil Gap Trail past jagged limestone cliffs before reaching Windy Gap Cabin. The northern terminus of the trail is a three-way intersection with Windy Creek Trail and Cache Mountain Loop at the Windy Gap Cabin.
The trail closed to motorized use April 15 – October 15.
