Grand Lake or Grand Mesa

[lakeeffect101]

Two of use heading out at the end of January and have a reservation in Grand Lake. I know there is still alot of time left but with the lack of snow, I have been thinking of maybe heading to Grand Mesa instead. We enjoy all off trail riding and have a M7 and a RMK 800. Any advice is greatly appreciated!

I've rode G/L a bunch since it's only 1 hour from my house.Never been to the Grand Mesa yet but heard only good things.

Grand Lake 250" maybe, plus a lot of rental sleds.Especially on Weekends.

Grand Mesa 450" +

If I was traveling a bunch of hours I'd stay on I-70 for 150 more miles.

Grand Mesa. I was riding from Thunder Mountain Lodge today and had a great time. Amazing terrain and the best riding I have done this year.

Thanks Guys!

I guess its Grand Mesa then! Now that we are heading there we are looking for a place to rent beacons. We would just buy some but only come out once a year. If any one knows of a place or any ideas it would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks again!
Jay

Boston,

Only been in CO/COS for a couple of years and looking to try new areas besides VP and Cottonwood. What is your normal drive time to GM and TML when hauling the sleds from the Springs?

Safe Riding.
