This private site belongs to San Juan Mountains Association’s Durango Center. It offers riparian, sagebrush, pinyon juniper, meadow, and several conifer habitats, and is a birding hotspot.  No dogs please. Leisurely pace. Trip will be about two miles on level dirt trails. Dress for the weather and bring binocular, snacks, and water. Sunscreen and bug juice always a good idea. For added enjoyment, download the free App called Merlin onto your phone.
