Gould info?

[Mafesto]

One of our group would like to check out the Gould area.
Any recommendations, good or bad?
Would likely stay in Walden.

Did it all burn last year or is that area ok?

I don't know.
I don't know really anything!?

I don’t think Gould burned but I don’t know for sure. The troublesome fire only went to the top of willow creek pass. I was in jack park on bikes this summer that wasn’t burnt. I don’t know that area on sleds but it looked like fun terrain on bikes. I definitely would recommend Buffalo pass if your in that area. Grand lake used to be my favorite spot but the burn turned riding there to a select 2-3 days the snow let’s you get off the trail. The black dust mixes in the different layers and melts snow snow quick. I’ve ridden the last five years from oct 31- mid April but last year was just sad. Good luck in Gould!

That part of North Park didn't burn. Not familiar with it, but much of it is is Colorado State Forest with its own rules, generallymore restrictive than USFS. That said, I know people that like the area. Use the internet and also call the state forest office. May be lodging at Gould, but there certainly is at Walden. If you stay in Walden, the trailer southwest to Buff Pass and southeast to the Gould area should be close.

That's the plan.
Staying in Walden affords us options. Heck, even RE isn't that far.

Lots of straight up and down. Every time we rode here we seen slides haven’t been there in 15 years.

Check with the local club. They used to publish a trail map. North Park Snow Snakes I believe.
