Great back country camping

We spent several nights here as we hiked the multiple 14ers. We took the train from Durango, which was an easy enough process getting in and out. The hike up was not bad at all. Multiple established camping areas with great shade. Plentiful water. Zero mobile coverage. No issues with bears, but the goats were very persistent.
