The map below details a hike that
I made on the 4th of June 2005. This is part of the Galloping Goose
trail located at Ophir CO. The trail follows the grade of the Rio Grande
Southern between the Ames water tank site and the butterfly trestle, Bridge
44A. The trail starts where forest road 623 leaves the grade and starts winding
up the hillside. I found it to be a very enjoyable hike with the lush mountain
side and the only encounter I had was two mountain bikers on the return
trip. To view photos from my hike simply click on any of the blue text on
the map. Copyright David Dye June 19 2005.
