Longer, narrower and slightly more engaging than The Sherb, GOS Trail provides both the approach and exit for Gulf of Slides, as well as a great run in itself. Start skinning the initial part of The Sherb and look for signs of Gulf Of Slides after the bridge, skin left and start heading uphill. It’s common to skin through the woods to short cut the lower switchbacks of the trail, though this is not marked and hard to tell where to go unless someone else has done it. The skinning is relatively uneventful until a big downhill skin into the drainage that exits The Fingers. Continue uphill until the trail flattens out, if you’re approaching Gulf of Slides, all the gullies are accessed by breaking right into the woods following faint drainages, however, if you continue following GOS Trail around the corner, it will funnel you directly to the base of Main Gully. Climb your line or, rip skins and enjoy this classic New England trail. Be aware that unlike the sherb, uphill and downhill traffic both travel this trail. Be aware of other people recreating in either direction, and don’t crash into eachother.
