Chicago Basin

For our 4th anniversary, we took the Duragno-Silverton Train and got off at Chicago Basin to do some hiking.  We had beautiful weather and given that it's a holiday weekend, it wasn't crowded at all.  Beautiful scenery in the backcountry of Colorado - so what if your anniversary dinner was cooked on a campstove!
