Jacob Krumm Nature Preserve - Jasper County

I skied the entirety of the 5.2 miles of trails here this afternoon.  While it is covered with snow grass is starting to show through where tracks have been skied and the sun reaches it.  The tracks I laid will likely freeze up tonight and be decent for anyone tomorrow.  With the cold coming maybe they will last for awhile before hikers and snowshoes trash them.  I spoke with a worker there who said they still own their groomer and snowmobile.  They stopped grooming years ago because people expressed preference for no grooming.  If you want groomed trail in the Jasper and Poweshiek counties area I encourage you to reach out to them.  They actually discussed starting again this morning.  There are two or three other parks they were considering grooming as well!
