I'll take a crack at explaining the Colorado label.
People here leave the Denver/Boulder area and head west into the mountains every weekend. The Sunday afternoon drive back is a miserable jam.
Some of those mountain destinations are a pretty far drive, so if you're one of those who came here for the skiing, climbing and mountain biking (and judging by dating sites, most people here are) then you're making some stops for fuel and caffeine in some mountain town, wearing your ski outfit or bike shorts.
If that's the explanation, I don't know why the label wouldn't be “trail” though.

"ski trail", "ski mountain", "ski run", "on the slopes", "chairlift" etc. whereas a gas station is just a gas station. Also, it's pretty hard to have a "missed connection" on a ski trail, seeing as how both parties tend to be in motion and ski goggles obscure eye contact :)
- charlieok 14y agoFair enough. I was thinking of all the times I've passed attractive people on hiking trails. People going downhill yield to people going uphill. Sometimes you stop and chat, ask about directions, the weather. I could easily see people wishing they'd gotten a number on occasions like that.
