Pagosa Springs Trailrider's Association

By Carol and Lenny Baker, Beth and Toby Tollefsen and Norm Vance | Jun 30, 2009








Sunday rides are now called "The Sid Ride." Sid Hott, left, knows more trails and knows them better than anyone around so he leads the way. The club is in good hands.

Along the trail there are plenty of rest stops for catching breath and talking.






Know where you go!

Tucker Ponds Road and Park Creek Road are two roads of several that access into the high country in the area that was the gold fields in the Pagosa Springs area. Here are links to some info on the area.

History of The East Fork/Old Military Road

Lunch was on a crest looking down into the East Fork Valley.

Lunch brought on nap time!

On Park Creek Road near Elwood Pass this small cabin is available for over night rent from the Rio Grande National Forest in Del Norte.

The group came across this tree blow-down area.






Amazing what the wind can do!

Trees have a hard life at timberline!

Summitville is a ghost town and a great visit.

Several of the old buildings are intact but it is not wise to try walking in them.

June in the Mountains is always lovely.
