A quick trip report though the trip was cut short by a rock puncture in Maggie Gulch, NW of Silverton, CO and a few days spent waiting outside Durango for a new spare. We started in the Zuni Mtns south of Gallup, NM (hat tip to JoeH for the lead) for some great mountain biking and some pics of the Zuni 24 Hour Race:
until we fled to Colorado in search of cool air and arrived just in time for the Weber Fire near Mancos:
.
We picked up some replacement Gorilla wheel locks after yours truly put our original lock in a safe place only to forget where that was (thanks to Nick G in Fresno for the prompt help) and headed to the Silverton area en route to the Powderhorn. As it turns out, that was a worthwhile wait.
-----------------------
A couple of days on South Mineral Creek
and a walk to Rolling Pass on the Silverton-Rico Trail
-----------------------
Next stop was Maggie Gulch, making our way towards Cinnamon Pass to cross over to the Powderhorn.
-----------------------
Flat ensued on the way out (no pics, too busy changing tire in inconvenient location) but we finally made it to the Powderhorn, considered the largest expanse of tundra in the lower 48:
Only time for one walk, then we drove out to the east along Cebolla Creek
with lots of peaks in the La Garita Wilderness beckoning from the south
and bid farewell with a piece of western Americana
Adobe Loon (aka the Dawghaus)
Sportsmobile (AKA Money Pit)
) so we didn't consider heading that way.
