The Sangre Overlook Trail offers a great view of the Wet Mountain Valley &
The Sangre de Cristo Mountains, hence the name. The ridge on the south end holds snow on the east side & is a favorite play area.
The Sangre Overlook (Trail G)on the north end goes through the woods by an old broken down log cabin. This trail connects to Greenhorn Road (Trail E) on both ends.

Greenhorn Road (Trail E) follows a 16 mile ridge line with a 2 to 5 mile width. TRAILS: F, G, I, J, K, L, M and N loop off the main Trail E. Trail E runs 16 miles from the Gardner Jct. to the south and ends at Greenhorn Mountain.
The entrance on the south end of Pole Creek (Trail I) is a larger meadow that descends into the timber to a middle meadow waiting to be carved up! The meadows to the east, however, hold more snow, but are covered with willows, so be careful
The trail on the north end goes through the timber & connects back to Greenhorn Road (Trail E).
The south end of Pole Creek is also the location for the ATV Trail Head & is surrounded by large rocks. This snowmobile loop trail branches off the ATV trail & uses meadows & timber cuts to the north end.
Unlike its name, the trail is not prone to snow slides / avalanches. The north end of the trail connects to the Greenhorn Road (Trail E) at the 19th mile marker and proceeds through a large meadow. This meadow is often windblown and contains many rocks so stay on the trail. The trail cuts through timber and meadows which can hold snow drifts and deep snow. Several meadows along this trail open up to more play areas.
The south end has a large meadow where some areas may be windblown and
some rocks may exist.
