Do not take the trail that goes to the left as you enter the forest, but continue straight ahead. This part of the hike is the same as the hike to Skoki Lodge, so you’ll pass a large sign as you enter the trees, alerting you that you are on the Skoki Lodge trail. Continue on the trail as it crosses ski runs and goes above Temple Lodge (which is roughly 100 m below the route on the left). The hike up the fire-road is a tedious part of this trip.Īfter 45-60 minutes of hiking you will reach the end of the fire road. Expect to be passed by trucks or vans heading up to ferry Skoki passengers to the top of the fire road or maintenance workers to work on the ski hill.
