Summer 2018 Colorado and Utah Trip – Durango & Cayton NFS Campground

Just before we left on our trip, we received a call from the Forest Service cancelling our three nights in the Cayton Campground near Lizard Head Pass (above Telluride) because of fires nearby. We scrambled and found two nights in Durango and two nights north at Ridgway State Park. While in Durango, a favorite place, Judy, Ann, and I hiked, and Bruce fished. When we left Durango, we decided to drive the San Juan Skyway through Delores and Rico and check out the Cayton NFS Campground that was cancelled. We were surprised and excited to find the campground open and few people there! And, our two favorite sites were available! So we cancelled Ridgway and spent two beautiful nights at Cayton. Again, Judy, Ann, and I hiked and Bruce went fishing and caught two trout for dinner, well, a snack before dinner. Enjoy our images of the beautiful places.

    Nice Pics you guys. Love Durango and the Silverton Train. Animas Canyon is incredibly beautiful. We bent an axle on the Million Dollar highway from Silverton to Ridgeway in 1987. Lookout, it’s a crazy road.
