The blue is the Weminuche Creek Trail, the red is the turn off to Opal Lake Trail. As you can see, there is no defined trail to begin with. Eventually, further up in the meadow you will find a faint trail, that becomes more defined as you get into the woods. Even then, the sections come and go along the way. You are rewarded with great views of Rio Grande Pyramid and the Window if you take this trail.
