Goble Trail

Goble Trail (740) is a non-motorized trail loop trail and is suitable for a short-day hike. The elevation rise is not dramatic and the abundant aspen, oak brush, conifer forest, which passes a spring at one point, offers a pleasant hiking experience. There are no grand vistas though at one point you do look across to Stoner Mesa. Elk and mule deer are the more prevalent forms of wildlife in the area. Several species of birds also nest in the vicinity. Goble trail does intersect with Mavresso Trail (204).
