I know this area very well.....I jeep track the San Juans whenever I can...

This is northern almost suburban Durango....not back country

Odd

Black bears kill and they run fast

Folks forget cause they seem like bumbling cuties

Yep, not wilderness. But they ruined bear hunting in CO and every year the bears get worse, encroaching populated areas.

Good point. I live about 5 miles from Trimble Hot Springs and know the area well. It’s a beautiful location/area as you well know.
