Day 30 – 2014-06-18, Wednesday – Durango, CO

Ah, Colorado! I like this State. Beautiful scenery, great trails, quaint towns.

Got in mid-afternoon yesterday, no chance for photos, so here’s one today – the campground where we’re staying:

1 - Campground

Funky long-ass driveway, but it’s nestled up close to the mountain (good and bad) – great as it protects from the wind, not so good as it also protects from radio waves – no cell service most of the time. Oh, well, at least they have GREAT Wi-Fi, so there is that!

Today we went to ride at the Overend Mountain Park, named after Ned Overend, the legendary mountain biker. Kind of a fun trail, but The Bear had some issues with it, so it was a comparatively short ride, but I did get some photos. Here’s the trailhead:

Here’s a shot from the trail, overlooking Durango:

The trail was tougher than we expected, with some rather scary spots, so we cut it short, as I mentioned. It was still fun, though.

Pretty much it for the day.
