Trapper's Lake sits in White River National Forest in northwestern Colorado, a high-country lake the caption calls "One of North-Western Colorado's Most Beautiful Fishing Spots." A still lake mirrors the land and sky, with dark green scrub and grass at the near shore. The lake is reached from Meeker, with approaches from Rifle on Highway 24 and Craig on Highway 40. Trapper's Lake has long drawn anglers to the Flat Tops country, and the forest setting and quiet water fit that reputation.
Pronounced crosshatch linen texture across the whole image; thin white edge along top and left from the scan. No postmark; divided back; no handwriting. Printed caption "TRAPPER'S LAKE, WHITE RIVER NATIONAL FOREST / One of North-Western Colorado's Most Beautiful Fishing Spots..." with series number 2333—; publisher imprint "C. T. ART-COLORTONE", Sanborn Souvenir Co., Denver, Colo.
