Hesperus, CO

Travel Guide

We have had a huge snow year down in the southern Rockies. The high country is buried in snow. But at the mid elevations in the Hesperus area near Durango Colorado the effects of the increased moisture can be seen quite clearly. The lupines and mules ears are blooming amazing at the moment.

La Plata Canyon to the west of Durango CO excellent location for a spot of cross country skiing in the winter and mountain solitude in the summer. With the outstanding cuisine of the Kennebec Cafe at the junction and Hesperus Ski hill is a locals favorite with night skiing two to three nights a week.

Cities near Hesperus

Even more fun than following the designated hiking trails is traversing the natural gas pipeline path. It is steeper than this looks and quite rocky beneath the wispy grasses that have grown over the pipe, and it affords great views above the Target Tree Campground in the Dolores district just east of Mancos.

after leaving the four corners monument, I noticed the strange rock that had sort of a twisted formation. it is like there are many skinny fingers clamping on the ground. i found it fascinating to see. i learned that it's called the chimney rock. that seems to be a popular attraction. it's located on the southern ute reservation in towaoc, colorado on US 491. . . . #roadtrip #herewego #roadsideattraction #roadattraction #travel #lonelyplanet #adventureseeker #doyoutravel #goexplore #openmyworld #adventurethatslife #roamtheplanet #roamingeverycorner #christyontheroad #roadsidefanatics #offbeatattractions #insearchofquirk #chimneyrock #towaoccolorado #naturephotography
