Quemazon Nature trail runs adjacent to Quemazon Wagon Trail and eventually meets just before the trail for the Cave of the Winds. This area is a beautiful example of the forest recovery after the Cerro Grande fire. Wildlife remains abundant as gamble oak, aspens and ponderosas are beginning to thrive once again. Enjoy your day on this trail and use this box as a starting point for your adventure. Please respect this area and travel by foot or bike only.

The stamp is based on the book Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carrol, all adaptations of this novel are worthy of watching or reading.
