Walden – #7 on the list of best little mountain towns

03/11/2014 MooseCreek llc

What Walden lacks in residents (just 585 at last count) the little home on the range makes up for in outdoor opportunities.

Anglers converge on it for the world-class fall trout fishing found in the North Platte River and nearby lakes at Delaney Buttes, while hunters hike the surrounding peaks of the Routt National Forest following herds of bugling bull elk. Of course, there are pronghorn and mule deer here too, along with Walden’s best-kept hunting secret—waterfowling that’s surprisingly good considering the town is centered on a wide, flat plain known as North Park. Dollars spent by visiting outdoorsmen and local ranchers give the town a few amenities typically found in much larger burgs. It seems like the whole town gathers for breakfast at the Moose Creek Café……

Ok, here it is already Labor Day weekend and the kids are all back in school. Archery season has begun and the fish are jumping just for anglers to get into the swing of the seasons.

What are your plans? Have you been up on Cameron Pass to see the five (5) yep, five bull Moose hanging out up at the parking lot on top? They are in full view for your camera’s pleasure. Recently I was driving from Granby and spotted a Cow with her two calves, this is a Moose Cow, not the dairy type or you know, the next burger you might enjoy…. wandering across the highway…. okay wandering was like three steps and they were across and then over the fence. It sure is great to see the wildlife in North Park. Come soon, as it’s going to get chilly soon and the snow will be flying too.
