I’m over the moon! We haven’t tried Obstacle Rock in years. Even with a little trip and extra rock in her way! Zil is sidepassing over a rock. What a good pony. #HorseSky #bestday #arabianhorse #trailride #trailhorse #trailobstacle #horse #horsesofbluesky #nationalforest #saveourpubliclands

Shadows streak the #trailsign as the morning sunlight percolates through the spruce boughs. Start the day early! #trail #forest #trailride #hike #nationalforest #saveourpubliclands

Wooden trail sign seen at an angle of riding past it on a horse. Say: Eagle Peak Trail NO.629. Bushes all around and spruce trees

A nice view of the #mountains from this popular trail system, with a brand-new-bang-fangled plastic #trailsign that will be present and legible forever. #nationalforest #Trail #hike #trailride #saveourpubliclands

Snow-covered La Plata mountains at the top in the background of this image of a winter landscape (brown leafless trees and bushes, conifers and valleys). In the foreground a brown plastic trail sign with yellow lettering lists several trails under the heading: Mancos Spur.

This morning’s directional, tacked onto a tree. It’s kind of a maze back here in this ol’ world. #trailsign #trailride #hike #nationalforest #peace #trail #saveourpubliclands

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

As seen from above (from horseback): an old wooden trail signpost with two signs on it one atop the other. Both say Box Canyon Trail but the bottom on is half worn and rotted away.

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

Wooden trail sign applied to an aspen tree reads: Rough Canyon Trail (arrow pointing right). Sign is surrounded by more aspen trees as well as grass, bushes and conifers probably spruce.

Today’s #trailsign follows from yesterday’s! We rode up Little Bear to Hillside Drive. #trailride #trail #hike #nationalforest Where there was access to more trails! Stay tuned. Tomorrow’s will have a horse in it. 🐴 #saveourpubliclands

A grassy trail leading from a road (left) on past the trail sign (right) which is right in front of a big thick conifer and reads: Little Bear Trail No 609 with arrows in both directions showing the trail crosses the road.

Trail sign against a background of grassy field with wildflowers and, downslope a conifer forest reads: Trails
Rough Canyon (arrow to the left)
Little Bear (arrow to the right)

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

Two Trail signs on a tree pointing different ways.
Top: Bear Creek Trail
Gold Run Trail 2 arrow points left
Bear Creek Basin 9 arrow points left
Dolores River 4 arrow points right

Bottom: Little Bear Creek
Hillside Drive Road 2 arrow points right

Your #trailsign for the day. Now let’s not all pile through the gate at once!
#trailhorse #trailride #HorseSky #nationalforest #saveourpubliclands

Two horses being led through a small gate at a woodland trailhead. One is a leopard Appaloosa butt and the other, trying to push past her, is a big brown half-Friesian, the Appaloosa’s daughter. The trail sign says Wildcat Trail

Another lovely crossroads in the Wilderness! I love the unique writing “font” on the Groundhog #trailsign! #Wilderness #trailride #hike

Two signs at right angles. Top one: Groundhog Trail in “italics.” underneath it say Kilpacker Trailhead 1.6 mi. Sign crosses over the one beneath it at 90 degrees. The lower sign says: Navajo Lake Tr. No. 635
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.

Nostalgic flashback of a rainy day. At the crossroads Daniel points a direction while Erin laughs. Aspen still has four legs! #trailsign #trailride #trailhorse #HorseSky #DogSky #traildog #nationalforest #appaloosahorse #saveourpubliclands #arabianhorse

$A trail crossroads in an aspen forest. A sign makes a corner. To the left, a creek trail and a campground are indicated (only part of the words show. Ahead sign lists West Mancos Trail Sharkstooth Trail 4 1/4 Twin Lakes Road 4 and another fraction Foreground a black dog with white legs - my dog Aspen when she still had four. In the center my husband in a green raincoat aboard a white leopard Appaloosa horse (Treasor) with red spots. To the right of him (his left) my daughter in a black raincoat on a chestnut arab horse (Sunflower).$
