You can see the Barr Trail red dashed line, cog railroad and main road all converging on the summit of Pike Peak.
Lost Lake is in the Gunnison National Forest. The Beckwith Pass trail is highlighted.
The La Garita Wilderness is shown in a buff color, differentiating it from the green National Forest. The Continental Divide appears at the bottom.
Military areas are shown in this light olive color.
Routes and trails in the Colorado National Monument. A route, unlike a trail, has no defined path, rather a series of rock cairns or other markers within sight of one another. Routes, dotted brown line, do not show in Mapsource, only in your GPS receiver, just like the Continental Divide.
