Backpacking in Colorado | Chicago Basin & Mt Eolus

Hello hello! A couple month ago some buddies and I made the voyage from Denver to Durango to do some backpacking. We rode on the historic Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad which took us into the San Juan mountains where we continued on foot backpacking into Chicago Basin. We ended up summiting Eolus Peak during our stay in the Basin, with a couple others from our group also tagging Sunlight! It was an awesome experience in some beautiful country.

As always thank you for watching!
