A Two-Week Backpacking Trip off the Durango Train

Copyright 2005 Gary D. Courtney. Heather and Whittaker Courtney, and their father receive their packs from the conductor, as they prepare to let the train leave them for two weeks alone into the 12,000 to 14,000-foot snow-capped San Juan Mountains of Colorado, in 1998. Gary's 70-lb pack is laying on the ground.
