We snowshoed the Shoshone Trail in the Ramsay-Shockey Open Space. The trail was 2 miles around a small mountain and along the shore of Pinewood Reservoir. It was a nice little trail that was never really steep enough to kick our butts! A fun time was had by all!
The last part of the trail is around Fisherman's Cove. The trail skirts around the cove about 15 feet from the water. At one point the drop off is right at the trail's edge. Slow and steady kept us dry!!
We were one of three groups of people enjoying the open space. The first group had two dogs off leash. The second group had three dogs off leash. I realize it was a Sunday in the dead of winter but where the hell were our County Rangers?? If Brinkley was off leash, you better believe one would appear out of nowhere to give us a ticket. The second group also had eight people in a six seater truck - last I checked, driving with kids on your lap was illegal. Again, Rangers?? Anyone? My guess is if they didn't care about the leash law and the seat belt law, they likely didn't even have their County pass to be there in the first place.
Ok, end of gripe. We had a great time. I would recommend the trail for snowshoeing. I'm not sure about the trail in the summer time. I hear the place used to be Rattlesnake Open Space. Ummm, I'll pass on the snakes. Thanks.
