County Road 27 is essentially a dirt road shortcut that connects between Gould and Rand CO, or more specifically Route 14 and Route 125. In essence if one does not want to travel all the way to Walden on 14, one could take CR 27 and cross over to 125 before heading back south to Grandby. CR 27 is a very tame dirt road easily traveled on just about any motorcycle, even a street bike if speeds were reduced enough. Consisting of dirt and gravel and well maintained this road could be ridden by just about any rider outside of a week 1 beginner (who probably wouldn't be out in this area in the first place) and given that will be classified as a green route.
1. CR 27
The community is located on State Highway 14, southeast of Walden in North Park. The community is situated in the valley of the Middle Fork of the Michigan River between Owl Mountain and Gould Mountain. The landscape is a patchwork of wetlands, pine forest, aspen groves, and sagebrush. A tavern, campgrounds, community center, and several other businesses cater to local residents, campers and sportsmen. The largest public attraction is the Colorado State Forest Headquarters and Moose Visitor Center.
