Looking for good riding area in Grand Lake area

In Grand Lake, most of the gas stations and grocery stores have trail maps for free.

You can also find lodging right in Grand Lake and surrounding areas close by, just google "lodging grand lake". When are you going because right now the snow sucks BAD! You might what to consider somewhere else.

Here's a link to the trail map with coordinates:

There's 2 main ways to get around in Grand Lake:
1) Stay in a hotel or such in town, and snowmobile right from there. Or, trailer to Idleglenn and sled from there when the snow is poor.
2) Stay in Columbine Lake area, which is even closer to the trailhead, and the riding.
You can just google some lodging, and you'll find a ton. I prefer to rent a house so you can stretch out more with a group. I'm not a fan of hotel rooms, as there's nothing to do.

The snow is pretty poor right now. I went for a trail ride in GL yesterday, and it's pretty thin. You currently need to stay on the trail, as you'll run into land mines if you try to get off it too much yet.
If you're planning for January or later trip, the snow should be fine by then.

Go to snowmobilecolo.com which is the Colorado Snowmobile Assoc web site, then to trail maps. You have to click on the main map to find Grand Lake.

The snow will be alot better in late January--you can always go to Rabbit Ears to find good snow--about 1 hr drive from GL.

Grand Lake has quite a bit of off-trail backcountry riding.....but RE is typically better for that. March will be plenty of snow.
