A high mountain meadow along the Colorado Trail overlooks an endless landscape of mountaintops. A woman (me) in a black T shirt rides a beautiful bay Arabian mare (Zil) from the upper right of the picture toward the left.

Looking down through a green forest at a long, arching brown bridge as we descend to the bottom of Gold Run Trail. The bridge crosses Bear Creek, which we will then ride up to Grindstone Trail Which we will then ride to the Colorado Trail.

Three old signs on a big evergreen tree.
Top one: brown sign reads Gold Run Trail and Burro Peak Road 2 1/2 
Middle one is almost completely faded and split, yellow with a circular emblem of something with faded “Fly Fishing”
Lowest sign says Fishing Survey

This is a fun spot to get to. To access Gold Run we cross a very cool bridge. #trailsign #trailride #colorado #trail #hike #nationalforest

A stand of aspen trees (only the trunks show) with shorter evergreens mixed in and a strip of trail sign attached to the thickest aspen trunk reads: Section House Trail. On the trail, a little black three-legged dog with her tongue hanging out emerges from a shadows. Her name is Aspen.

Between the ears view of riding a bay Arabian horse on a mountain trail through spruce trees. Ground is sloping down to the right. A long shadow of a spruce tree with the trunk and individual branches extends down the trail in front of the horse as if a black tree is right in the trail!

Trailhead with a large trailhead sign including a map. My three-legged dog Aspen is trotting past it. She’s a right hind amputee. In the center of the photo is a crisp shadow of my Arabian horse’s head. We are heading to the trail. The small trail sign a few feet in is brown wood and reads: Priest Gulch Trail and it’s far enough away in the picture that I can’t quite see the trail number on the sign.

Wooden trail sign on a chipped old tree post reads: Calico Trail (with arrow pointing up)
Stoner Mesa (with arrow pointing left)
Horse Creek (arrow points right.
Sign is in an open area. Sparse evergreens are small due to elevation. Ahead on the right is the aptly named Calico peak, red and rust and tan and a little dark gray. Very distinct from all other peaks in the area.

Between the ears view from a dark brown horse of: ofA large, lopsided wide rock-shaped wooden trail sign says Weiminuche Wilderness San Juan National Forest- national forest is in cursive! Classic. Behind it a woman in a pink shirt wearing a go pro on her chest is sitting on a bay Arabian mare all loaded up for adventure. Conifer forest waiting behind us.

This #trailsign shows up in the middle of nowhere after riding a long long way. The #trail almost indiscernible (2019). Last I saw it a couple years ago it was lying on the ground! I loved it; its condition made me feel way out in the wild rediscovering a lost treasure. #trailride #forest #hike

Between the ears view of riding a dark horse toward a sunlit wooden bridge. The leafy, grassy trail is winter-brown and ice crusts the creek passing under the bridge.

Instead of a #trailsign we’ve arrived at a #bridge and we love bridge crossings! The hollow, sometimes ringing sound of hoof-steps on wood. The rush of the water beneath! The inviting path beyond.

Wooden dark brown sign with yellowish letters is tacked to an old spruce (I think) tree trunk. Gray peeling bark and dead twigs hanging down. In the background filtered sunlight and more conifers. Sign reads: 621 West Mancos Trail
Beneath that: Box Canyon Trail  (with a long fletched arrow symbol beneath the words pointing to the right).

An old wooden #trailsign planted in gray stones marks the way through a crunchy landscape toward what things will come: the leafless forest and its trees, twigs and bushes starkly brown in winter’s nudity. #trail #trailride #hike #nationalforest #saveourpubliclands

Aspen tree trunks surround the viewer, brown earth, patches of snow. One of the trees has the word “BOX” carved in it - an old, swollen gray scar high off the ground -  and a little square symbol underneath.

Today’s Rough Canyon #trailsign gives a glimpse of the beauty of our #nationalforest. This #trail is absolutely breathtaking, but soon proved too steep and narrow for our marvelous #trailhorse trio, and that is saying something. #trailride #hike #saveourpubliclands #Colorado

This is where you’re glad to arrive for a long-anticipated lunch stop. It’s the confluence of two creeks and intersection of their trails. A grassy meadow and shade and spots overlooking the beautiful water. You come down an edgy slope and see these signs! #trailsign #trailride #trail #forest #hike

View of signs is from slightly above (taken from horseback). Looks toward the ground (signs are against grass and wildflowers). A bit of Navajo Lake Trail crosses the lower right corner of the photo.
