My childhood playground in the forested mountains near Durango, Colorado led to a love of the outdoors and appreciation of the splendors of Nature.

Ever since I can remember I have been fascinated by trains and dreamt of riding the rails. My father took this photo of me shortly before boarding the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railway on a day excursion into the beautiful San Juan Mountains of southwestern Colorado long, long ago.

From the Million Dollar Highway (U.S.550) just below Red Mountain Pass (11,018 ft/3,358 m) is an impressive view of Chicago Peak which is within the San Juan National Forest just northeast of Telluride. The road ahead passes through an old silver mining region and the remains of the Idarado Mine before plunging precipitously down the Uncompahgre Gorge towards Ouray.

Perins Peak

From a distance, Perins Peak is visible through the woodlands of Overend Mountain Park at the edge of the small town of Durango. This forested area was my playground as a small child during the late 1950s where I developed a life-long love for unspoiled nature. In my child's mind I thought that the peak was called "Parents Peak", and that it was a place for grownups to get away from their nagging children.

As a child I traveled this road with my parents long ago. From our car my sister exclaimed, "Look!! It's Ice Cream Cone Mountain".
Although maps identify the mountain by a different name, it will always be Ice Cream Cone Mountain to me.

As the late afternoon sun touched the horizon at dusk I came upon Chimney Rock near the tiny settlement of Towaoc on the edge of the Navajo Nation. With only seconds of light left before twilight commenced I quickly propped the camera on a fence post and took my last photo of the day.
