Family Fun
June 1st, 2010I had a great Memorial Day weekend by way of the classic tradition of a family camping trip. We hit the road in our camper to the Four Corners region: Cortez and Durango. The whole affair was fun for all, rife with some great mountain biking, hiking into the ruins of Mesa Verde, hot dog gilling, making s’mores, swimming, canned beer and even and impromtu appearance at a trailer park party with a live band! Everybody had fun, nobody got hurt AND we’re all still on speaking terms.
The riding at Phil’s World, near Cortez, is everything it is rumored to be: fun, fast and easy. It is like skiing high speed groomers with a nice half pipe section in the end (i.e. The Ribcage). It is defiinitely worth the visit. Also, the Dry Fork-Colorado Trail-Hoffein Connector trail loop outside Durango is a similar, but less rolling version of this: one big climb followed by one fast descent. Although short, we found it to be “more fun” than the nearby, more bumpy (and more famous) Hermosa Trail.
