My GF and I are going to be in Durango the week before Easter; April 13 - 20. Although she has declined my offers to bring her on a week-long AT trip, she said she would like to do an overnight hike while we're in CO. Something short, like a 5-6 mile hike, camp, then 5-6 mile return.
Any suggestions as to where we could go for such a hike?
...and when I say "near" Durango, I'm thinking within a couple hours drive, give or take.
Last year we did the Glacier Lakes day hike near Silverton. Gorgeous...but if the hiking for the overnighter I'm requesting is a strenuous as that hike, a bit shorter than 5-6 miles would be okay. I want her to enjoy this, not have her hate me for trying to kill her.
Thanks,
Dave
