Oct 17, 2018 — Lots of post-burn area trails in remote areas of New Mexico are difficult/impossible to follow, but despite a warning sign (most that need a sign like this don't have one), the Holt-Apache Trail up Sheridan Gulch was easy to follow and pretty much left me scratch-free! From the Sheridan Corral Trailhead, head up the trail as it takes you along a small ridge before dropping down into Sheridan Gulch, which I thought was super pretty. The trail weaves over the creek a few times before starting up to the summit. I was greeted by lots of snow and fog, so the views were minimal for me. Once you get to the saddle south of Holt Mountain (apparently there's a nice view here?), leave the trail and bushwhack up to Holt Mountain. Since Holt Mountain was forested, I assume the views would be minimal even without the fog.
