My friend and I took a short hike just out of town, and that is what I love about Durango. A short bike ride from my house put me at the trailhead for the Horse Gulch and Telegraph trail system. A relatively short hike from there took me to a peak on the ridge which rises to an elevation of 8,055 feet (2,455.16 meters) above sea level. My friend and I are just travelers through this land, but life on the edge for the permanent residences, such as the piñon trees, the yucca, the juniper and the cacti can be rough.
OMG! That is some magnificent view, and what a climb. You are so very lucky to live near such fabulous scenery.
