There are some trail names in Pike National Forest, where you just have to wonder how they came up with that name. Then there is this one. The “Sidney Harrison” trail, named after Sidney Harrison a WWII and Korea pilot veteran who crashed in a 1952 blinding snow storm.
The plane is in amazing shape for being there 65 years. But sad to see the vandalism done over time. We spent about 10 minutes at the site taking pictures and thinking about what Sidney was experiencing during those last moments of his life as the plane was crashing. History in our back yard.

Hi Wayne, I’m not sure of the plane type he was flying. Only know it was a single seat plane. Thanks for asking.
