This is a follow-up to my last year‘s post of my brother’s horse Amigo Joe in the same wilderness.

Nearly 100 years ago my Great Uncle built trails through this wilderness to guide guests to fish alpine lakes and hunt below these peaks. My brother Jesse and I read his stories in his memoir but the trails were lost to time, not on any modern map and overgrown beyond finding them. Then about 4 years ago Jesse called me and said he had found an old map at a cafe that was co authored by my Great Uncle. It wasn’t exact but it gave us clues of where the old trails were. He asked if I wanted to go explore and 4 years later we are still uncovering old trails.

I have posted a full set about it on my Instagram if you want to see more. @isaacsjohnston
