The Bridgeport Winter Trail System is a new winter recreation area in the region. Anyone hoping to explore scenic new routes and possibly take a dip underneath a natural thermal waterfall should add this groomed winter trail to their list.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\"><strong>The second trail, the Paha loop, runs along the creek and offers a unique terrain experience covering approximately three miles, mere feet from the serene waters of Robinson Creek and Lower Twin Lake.<\/strong>\u00a0 The trail begins at the Paha Day use area, following Robinson Creek to South Twin Road, then winds through two campgrounds (Lower Twin and Crags) eventually leading to an overlook at lower Twin Lakes. It includes a loop through the Crags Campground, covering approximately three miles. However, this trail does not just provide groomed access to the Twin Lakes Basin but also serves as a nice complement to surrounding backcountry skiing, riding, and snowmobiling terrain.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Related: <em><a href=\"https:\/\/snowbrains.com\/bridgeport-ca-high-sierra-backcountry-base-camp\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Bridgeport, CA: A High Sierra Backcountry Base Camp<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure id=\"attachment_243477\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-243477\" style=\"width: 1104px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/monocounty.ca.gov\/sustainable-recreation\/page\/bridgeport-winter-trail-system?fbclid=IwAR2MIuCiPJ3uFPKhp8GK7RVD_1o96xp0dzfPq3Vfwx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" class=\"wp-image-243477  lazyload\" src=\"image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAoAAAAHgAQMAAAAPH06nAAAABlBMVEUAAAD\/\/\/+l2Z\/dAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAAlwSFlzAAAOxAAADsQBlSsOGwAAAD1JREFUeNrtwQENAAAAwqD3T20ON6AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA4M8Al+AAAUvMG0oAAAAASUVORK5CYII=\" alt width=\"640\" height=\"480\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/snowbrains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/more-trail-zip-scaled-e1668193616744.jpg?resize=640%2C480&amp;ssl=1\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/snowbrains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/more-trail-zip-scaled-e1668193616744.jpg?w=800&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/snowbrains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/more-trail-zip-scaled-e1668193616744.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/snowbrains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/more-trail-zip-scaled-e1668193616744.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/snowbrains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/more-trail-zip-scaled-e1668193616744.jpg?resize=600%2C450&amp;ssl=1 600w\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-eio-rwidth=\"640\" data-eio-rheight=\"480\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" class=\"wp-image-243477 \" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/snowbrains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/more-trail-zip-scaled-e1668193616744.jpg?resize=640%2C480&amp;ssl=1\" alt width=\"640\" height=\"480\" data-eio=\"l\"><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-243477\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Enjoying the view of the surrounding peaks.
