It all started with a trip to Durango, Colorado. It was Mid-October. We decided to pack up our Honda Element and take a late fall camping trip. The aspen leaves were peaking and we wanted to have one last mountain bike adventure before packing them away for winter.

We arrived Friday afternoon and found our camp spot, pitched the tent, then took a short trip back to Durango for pizza and beer and to map out our adventure for the next day.
