Gould, Colorado is located about 20 Miles SE of Walden, CO on Route 14. There are some campgrounds that cost $10/night or you can stay in the forest for free, even right next to the campgrounds. About 2 miles SE of Gould on Route 14 is a National Forest Visitor Center which has good info and free maps of the area. The maps will show which roads are designated as 4x4 roads and allow ATV riding; there's a lot of them around there. There is a little restaraunt in gould and a little store as well. The riding here is mainly on dirt roads and not much of a challenge but it's a nice place for a family outing. Make sure you go up to Owl Mountain. Altitude is from 9000 to 11000 Feet.
