After the fire, the first half is a lot less shaded than it used to be, so the switchbacks were extra hard on a hot July morning. Thunderclouds rolled in 2 hours after we started, so we didn’t make it to the end. Still, there were great views and lovely meadows and it’s easy to get to out of Durango.
