Ready or not here we go!
This state park is beautiful. There are two lakes and three ponds. Two ponds are for viewing nature and the third one fishing is permitted. Horseshoe Lake is a “No Wake” lake-perfect for all the hand powered water craft. Martin lake has a section that is “No Wake.” There are two campgrounds. One is called the Pinon Campground and the other is called the Yucca Campground. RV and campers, there is only electrical hook-ups. They do have a tent camping area which happens to be next to a 9 hole golf course! There are two trails to hike. The longer trail, Cuerno Verde, follows the outer shore of Martin Lake. The other trail, Hogback Trail, goes up the side of Hogback Ridge. Zoom Zoom and I took the Hogback Trail. It was easy to moderate. This trail takes you up to the highest pint in the park. The view was breathtaking. The only wildlife nature we saw was a cute cotton tail bunny.
Happy Face! Sore hips and thighs!
I think the rock resembles a “flat ass!”
Going up in elevation!
This island is in the middle of Horseshoe Lake. And…Zoom Zoom getting a great photo of my backside.
Isn’t this great! We love the hiking here. Zoom Zoom , don’t step off!
Zoom Zoom , don’t step off!

Paula and Wayne. We finally found some free WiFi and saw your comments. Yes we are in Colorado for a few days. We weren’t heading up your way this trip so didn’t get in touch. We are skirting across the Southern part on our way to Zion. We had a reservation there for when we came back from Alaska and since that trip cancelled we decided to keep our Zion reservation.
