Lizard Head Pass.
First riding day with Bill Bunt on Calico Trail.
Lot's of the trails around Rico are "spooky/ scary". Lot's of chances to "mess up" and fall down the mountain. This is part of the Calico Trail. It's very narrow and runs across this very steep side-hill.
Bill making it up from a big climb.
Bill Bunt. The trail from two Pics back runs across the face of the mountain in the background.
View from Stoner Mesa Trail.
Creek crossing on East Fork Trail. Tougher than it looks.
Great viewpoint on Bolam Pass. Lizard Head Peak on the right.

Toughest day of the week. Most of us had trouble on this hill.
Bryan was last up and got a good chuckle out of his excellent ride up.
Aaron takes a break.
The Horse Creek Trail was blocked by a downed tree and we had to walk the bikes down the scary hill to the trail below.
Note! Aaron rode down this but don't try it at home.
Mining display in Rico.
Galloping Goose train on display in Delores. About nine of these were built and ran between Ridgeway, Cortez, and Durango.
I had a lot of fun attending a Pow Wow in Cortez.
