Tried a 'shortcut' off the Colorado Trail near Twin Lakes and ended up bushwhacking for two hours.

The line on my map looked clear, but the actual slope was a dense mess of downed trees and scree. Anyone have a good rule for trusting those dotted lines on older topo maps?

Yeah those dotted lines are a total trap sometimes. I mean my buddy and I got totally lost following one up by Holy Cross, map made it look like a clear game trail but it was just a brutal slide of loose rock.
