Backpack into Chicago Basin from Purgatory Flats
This hike begins at the Purgatory Flats Trailhead across from the purgatory resort. The register is about a hundred yards from the Trailhead and is located next to a trail map. From here you will begin your descent down into the flats, which is roughly a 600-700 foot descent over the course of just over a mile. Around .5 miles you'll come to a creek crossing, this is Purgatory creek. There are ...
Engineer Mountain via Cold Bank Pass
We were vacationing in the San Juan Mountains for 2 weeks. A local resident suggested the hike as a great place to see wildflowers. The "Engineer Mountain" sounded a bit too technical to be a scenic hike but we decided to hike like a local and this was one of the best hikes we did in 2 weeks. Accessible but still a challenge that we could take our dogs along. Don't let their size fool you. The...
Hike Goulding Creek
This trailhead is only about 15 miles from Durango on Highway 550. Look out for Glacier Club/Tamarron on your right, and soon after (about a mile) there is a small dirt turn-off on the opposite side of the highway. There is one other turn off on the west side of the highway in this stretch, but it's paved! Pass that and look for dirt.
Once on the dirt road, you should see a small wooden sign fo...

To get to the waterfall, turn onto the North access to Lime Creek road. A high clearance 4x4 vehicle is recommended to reach the trail head. From the turn off onto lime creek road, drive approximately 2.2 miles until y...
Summit 3 Peaks in the Chicago Basin
I tell people all the time that if they only do one hike in Colorado, this is it. You get a little taste of everything: Colorado history, wildlife, beautiful campsite views, 14ers, and the largest wilderness in the state.This itinerary assumes you’re hitching a ride on the train from Silverton. It’s possible to do this hike in from the Purgatory Trailhead, but trust me, the ~$70 round trip tra...
Mountain Bike Galloping Goose
The Galloping Goose Trail near Telluride, Colorado is a bike ride along what once was a historic train route. Plus it’s family friendly and the scenery is phenomenal.The starting point is at the top of Lizard Head Pass at an elevation of 10,200 feet. The scenery, from wildflowers to colorful mountains, is nothing short of stunning. The bike tour is a 16-mile mostly downhill ride that goes by se...
