DPatton,

I know that I am giving you a hard time, but I appreciate your persistence and the additional info that you shared.  It can be tough to ID plants from pictures, and I understand your point about the bark.  Bark can vary from one part of the country to the other.  Our hackberry (sugarberry) has bark that is more smooth with pronounced corky warts.  Our winged elm looks very much like the OP's pics, very much with the corky ridges on the bark.  But, in retrospect, the leaves are too big for winged elm, and the bark, while elmy, is not quite right for slippery elm in this area which does not exibit the extent of corkiness seen in the photo.

Well Sir, I am deferring to you.  I hope to meet a hackberry like that one day.

Isn't there a Southern and Northern Hackberry?

The difference is the Northern Hackberry doesn't eat grits.   :D ;D

Can't speak for Colorado, but the bark fits the Hackberry bark on our trees (Northern), except for the young and very old.

Danny, if your ever up this way, it'd be my pleasure to tour the woods with you.  Though I think I'd get the better end of the education from it.   ;)
