The cove is one of those places that you want to go with someone who has been there before (a few times) and somewhat knows their way around. There is no published maps (you can find some trails on GAIA and on a SxS map app) and nothing is marked. Coalmont OHV is currently in the process of turning one small section of the cove into an actual park, but right now I think they just have beginner trails. I think coalmont OHV has a FB page with info.
The cove is an awesome place with some very cool things to see (caves, churches, a few really tough rock gardens, and a lot of creek crossings) and it is worth the trip, but I would definitely go with someone who is familiar with the area.
As far as Hawk Pride goes, post up a few weeks before you go in February and possibly a few of us can join you there.
