    Hiking

    This scenic viewpoint is named for Gudy Gaskill, the so-called Mother of the Colorado Trail. So it is not surprising that it is located right on the famous long-distance trail that stretches from Durango to almost Denver. It’s said that this high spot was one of her favorite places, with stunning views over the San Juan Mountains.
