Hiking Deadwood Mountain in La Plata Canyon Durango Colorado San Juan Mountains best hike
Snow! October 18, 2019 Hiking up DeadWood mountain en route to Silver mountain. Its been a dry start to the season, and with the current conditions hiking is still a go! It started snowing a little bit this morning, and I jumped at the opportunity to get out in the elements.The channel is growing a lot behind the scenes currently, and I've been itching for a longer brisk walk. Very beautiful hike. The contrast of conditions from town to the summit is spectacular this time of year. Lightning is never cool though. Even in the snow... Enjoy the video!
Dont forget!
