# The lost trail above Pagosa - Link: https://mywalkabout.net/the-lost-trail/ - Published: 2016-03-19T13:29:00-07:00 - Author: My Walkabout ##### The trail initially seemed easy enough to find, at least on the GPS. What I found out though is that snow levels are not taken into account on today’s modern devices.󠀁[](https://i0.wp.com/mywalkabout.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/99045-g0327796.jpg?ssl=1)󠁿 ##### A clearing in the road was filled with trucks and empty snowmobile trailers. The snow covered road was filled with the tracks of the machines, but all was silent around me. ##### I start hiking upward, leaving 󠀁[Pagosa ](http://visitpagosasprings.com/)󠁿behind me.󠀁[](https://i0.wp.com/mywalkabout.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/b255e-img_2505.jpg?ssl=1)󠁿 ##### A couple of miles in and I see another soul, the first since I started hiking, his two large dogs leap on me. _“Don’t worry, they’re friendly”_, shouts the stranger. ##### He asks if I’m from around here, I smile and shake my head, realizing we are both lost wanderers in the mountains. Parting ways, I continue to climb.󠀁[](https://i0.wp.com/mywalkabout.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/5aa76-g0327795.jpg?ssl=1)󠁿 ##### A couple more miles in and I finally see a sign. It has my final destination listed, but it’s another 6.8 miles. I discover that this trail is for summer hikers when you can drive closer to the trail head. ##### There was only a couple hours of daylight left, or perhaps I would have carried on. No matter though, as I’ll take blue skies and beautiful views any day….󠀁[](https://i0.wp.com/mywalkabout.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/ac531-g0327797.jpg?ssl=1)󠁿 ##### even when I’m lost. ### Share this: * [ Email ](https://mywalkabout.net/the-lost-trail/?subject=%5BShared%20Post%5D%20The%20lost%20trail%20above%20Pagosa&body=https%3A%2F%2Fmywalkabout.net%2Fthe-lost-trail%2F&share=email) * [Post](https://x.com/share) * [Share on Tumblr](https://www.tumblr.com/share) * [ WhatsApp ](https://mywalkabout.net/the-lost-trail/?share=jetpack-whatsapp) * [ Nextdoor ](https://mywalkabout.net/the-lost-trail/?share=nextdoor) * [ Threads ](https://mywalkabout.net/the-lost-trail/?share=threads) * [[ * [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) * [ Reddit ](https://mywalkabout.net/the-lost-trail/?share=reddit) ### Like this: Like Loading…
