3D animated map of the groomed winter trails (fatbike, snowshoe, Nordic) at the Saint Ives and The Highlands golf courses in Canadian Lakes, Michigan (USA). The full loop is about 8 miles (12.9km) long and the vertical exaggeration is 6X. I am not affiliated with trail or its people but I did ride it yesterday and had a blast.

The National Park Service said the issuing of hike permits was in response to concerns about crowding and congestion on the trail. Hikers must have a permit when accessing any portion of the Angels Landing trail starting on April 1, 2022. (Steve Baron)
Anyone who hikes Angels Landing will be required to have a permit. By spreading out how many people visit the iconic site, visitors will feel less rushed, McPartland said. This lottery will be for permission to hike the trail between June 1 and Aug. 31.
The Angels Landing hike is challenging for all fitness levels, and McPartland cautions hikers to be extra prepared. Most people are unaware that the trail climbs in elevation quickly and gains 1,488 feet. The path is 5.4 miles round trip and can take four hours or longer to complete.
Visitors can apply for seasonal permit lotteries or a different lottery the day before their planned hikes. The cost is $6 to enter any of the lotteries, and successful permit holders will pay $3 per person. These funds will cover costs to manage the lotteries and for additional NPS rangers who will assist visitors and check permits on the trail. Click here to learn when and how to enter the lotteries.
The Angels Landing pilot program will be adjusted needed. The program reflects comments from nearly 1,000 members of the public, park neighbors and other stakeholders. Additional lessons learned were by the NPS metering the number of hikers on the trail in 2019 and 2021. And the information was pulled from the distribution of tickets to use the park shuttle system in response to COVID-19 in 2020.
