Its about 700 ft tall.  :clap:  Elevation is around 4,900 at camp and 5,600 at the top of the mountain.

That is Sand Mountain, Utah at Little Sahara though, not Walden.  You HAVE to go to LS someday if you haven't already.  Its a blast!

Walden riding altitude is around 8,500 ft.

Nice pics Aaron....theres a 20 foot cliff at deadmans now and the river is still flowing  :help:  Fun to watch crazies try to climb it and trash their $15k+ bikes down it and then try again

I'm a little jelous, and pissed. I drove up the Pouder River from Ft. Coliins to Walden and never saw any sand. Where the hell is it because it looks like it is worth the trip! :nana:

I got lost the first time myself but found it after an hour of searching...you have to drive north from Walden 10 miles through Cowdrey then its 1/4 mile north of there and theres a sign.

Let me know if you want to go and if you can't find it.  Poudre Canyon SUCKS to take, never go that way.  Its faster and maybe 10 miles longer to go 287 to Laramie, I-80, then Wy 230 (Snowy Range Rd) aka Co 125 towards walden then there is a really nice shortcut to go in the back way.

What part of Fo Co do you live in?  I live next to Budweiser Brewery off I-25 and Vine/Mulberry area. 

Walden is all I ride but you should go to KP with us in Rock Springs, Wy and see some REAL sand.  Walden sucks and gets old really quick but its a cool place to ride thats close but only for a day MAYBE two at the most.

I dont live in FC, but was going to school in lairehole and went to FC to kill the day. went up the poudre river to walden then back to Laramie.

Beating a 400ex on Nitros makes a man thirsty  :rofl:  (his nitros bottle was spinning in the sand after it fell off 20 minutes after this video  :lol:)
