Endlich Mesa is within the stunning Weminuche Wilderness, Colorado’s largest wilderness area, and contains the Florida River watershed, which provides the city of Durango’s municipal water. The allotment has been permitted by a local sheep ranching family for decades, and is just a few short miles from the Weminuche herd of bighorn sheep, one of only three herds in the state with a Tier 1 status classification by Colorado Parks and Wildlife.

  • Classic Colorado Backpacking Loops
    Classic Colorado Backpacking Loops Colorado is a mecca for backpacking with the most fourteeners of any state, multiple national parks to trek across, and a vast trail system interwoven through the Colorado Rocky Mountains. While out and back trips can be rewarding, backpacking loops give hikers a chance to continually explore new territory. These four classic Colorado backpacking trips are the perfect weekend getaways that can be done in 2-4 days. 1. Elk Creek to Needleton Loop This is an iconic 36-mile trip in the Weminuche Wilderness in Western Colorado that starts & ends with an epic train ride. You start by boarding the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad and enjoy the scenery as it meanders through the San Juan National Forest. After about 1 to 3 hours depending if you start in Durango or Silverton, the train will come to a stop in the vast wilderness where you will hop off, grab your pack, and then wave to the train as it chugs away leaving you surrounded by mountain peaks. The first day of hiking is mostly uphill following Elk Creek through the wooded forest. On day two you will push past tree-line to reach the Continental Divide with unobstructed views of the surrounding peaks. Lightening and storms are frequent in this area, so don’t stay too long at the top. The next several miles of hiking will be a lot of ups & downs as you traverse the backside of the mountains as you gear up to reach Vallecito Creek Bridge which has ample campsites and has good fishing.
