Goble is a 3.1-mile loop hike in Colorado's San Juan National Forest, within the Mancos/Dolores Ranger District. The trail gains about 936 feet in elevation, from a low point of 7,965 feet to a high of 9,001 feet, and it is rated moderate. The Forest Service manages the land, and the trailhead is called Gobble Trailhead. The route is open from June 1 through October 31. Plan on about 1.5 hours for the trip. The trail is on natural surface, and horses and bikes are both allowed, so the loop works for riders and pack animals as well as hikers. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at Telluride show July highs around 77°F with lows near 41°F, while winter highs stay in the mid-30s. West Dolores Campground is about 3.1 miles away, and the Groundhog Creek and Spring Creek hikes are each about 3 miles off. Mavreeso Campground lies roughly 4 miles away.
