At the intersection of NFSR 410/490, develop a groomed snowmobile route along the alignment of the Prospector Trail (Trail #1156). Approximately one mile of new trail will be designed and trees cut to establish a 20-25 foot corridor for the groomer to pass. Most of the trees to be cut are dead lodgepole pine, with minor amount of aspen and fir.
Total number of trees to be cut is not determined at this time, but based on the distance, appears to be similar to the Forest Service proposal. At the intersection of Trail 1156 and RCR 129, near Trilby Flats, develop a small multi-use parking area. From the parking area north, the groomed route would follow the right-of-way along RCR 129 1.5 miles to the existing
Columbine parking area. The existing parking area in the gravel pit will be expanded, and material extracted will be used to build a berm to shield the private property owners adjacent to the lot from noise. This alternative also proposes to plow NFSR 550 300 to 400 feet north to allow for parallel parking on the road. See Map of the proposal at
