Theres a nice Ramada in Hancock right on the trail in the middle of town, you may want to make reservations early as it can fill up fast.Other than that I'm not sure right in Hancock as its fairly populated with lots of blacktop and sidewalks plus being built on the side of a hill the way it is, but you also have easy access to a gas station there so your pretty well set.Some of the other sledder hotspots are outside of town quite a ways north or south.

I know where cloud 9 is. We will try it out. Where we stayed last year was a little cold, The toilet actually had Ice in the bowl. Not heat in the bathroom lol. Yamahead are you able to ride in Michigan this year? Going to be a banner year I believe. Al
