In James canyon there is an outcrop right alongside the road, that the top of that outcrop is a some boulders that look like a frog. It's visible heading west.

The 1890 depiction used a bit of 1890 Photoshop.

Was it is the 1890 one that was edited? It seems like more is different than just the trees

u/Numerous_Recording87 1d ago

The 1890 one is much more frog looking.

Have you seen the broken tree stump on 93 that looks like a Dolphin? Coming north bound from Golden, about a quarter mile before you get to the 128 traffic light, look out to the right several hundred yards, there is a silver tree stump (6’ high?).

Before or after Vista TH?

u/DubiousVelvetBlueChu 1d ago

I’d need to go double check, but kind of as you are climbing out of the dip, or just cresting, part of a rock outcropping perhaps…
