West Dolores River region of the San Juan Mountains

[Bosque Bill]

There is a new adventure posted on Bosque Bill's Backroads travel & camping blog:


Dolores Ranger District, San Juan National Forest, Colorado
June 24th to 27th

One adventure in two posts.

I wanted to escape the heat of central New Mexico and head for the cool mountains of Colorado. My idea was spend a few days in the southwest portion of the San Juan Mountains exploring the area around the West Dolores River where I never been. I didn't intend to stay long, just a few days, not even through the weekend. This was a quick decision as I realized the following week would be part of the July 4th holiday get-away for lots of others, and I wanted to avoid those crowds.

Great trip report BB. I'm from New Mexico and I especially related to your stopping for red and green chile. Those who aren't from NM can't really appreciate our chile addiction. They roast chile once a year here in Reno and I plan my month around it.

Do you fish at all? I see you were near some really good looking streams that would be hard to pass by without wetting a line.

Thanks. No I don't fish, did long ago. Curiously I didn't see anyone fishing those waters.
