JULY 2, 2011 - JULY 5, 2011 --- A 3 night, 4 day, 18.5 mile backpacking adventure into the South San Juan Wilderness. Located in the Rio Grande National Forest in Southern Colorado. Access to this area is just west outside of the town of Platoro, CO and a couple miles southwest of the Platoro Reservoir. BEST TIME OF YEAR TO HIKE THIS AREA IS JULY OR AUGUST! June may be too early for some because of the snow drifts which make the trails hard to find. An excellent high altitide backpacking adventure for the "Moderate" backpacker. So, you're getting rivers, lakes, creeks, trees, high peak summits, vistas, wildlife, and fishing!! It's backpacking paridise!! ----- I rate this backpacking trip 5/5 stars... for being MY most excellent backpacking trip to date so far!! -=-=-=-=- WANT A DECENT FREE MAP OF THIS AREA??
