Jeanne and I got our next vacation in last week. We headed out to Silverton Colorado to hit the famous Jeep trails. We spent our first night at the KOA in Flagstaff and got a bit of summer rain.
We got to Silverton and drove out to the north of town and found a boondocking spot. Was right next to the stream so we were white-noised to sleep four of the next five nights. Temps were 40-50 degrees at night - very comfortable.
The days on the Trail were mixed between rainy and beautiful cloud/sun days. We hit Black Bear Pass and Ophir Monday.
Did Yankee Boy Basin Tuesday. On other days we did Porphyry Gulch, Clear Lake, Arrastra Gulch, and some of Yankee Girl/Red Mountain area. We stayed in Siverton the last night to get clean for the trip home.
Stopped at my brother's in Surprise AZ for Saturday night and headed home Sunday during 115 degree days.
Here is a sampler of pictures.
