From the town of Durango, you can see Silver Mountain (12,496 feet) rising up with the other peaks making up the La Platas. The summit is pretty rocky but never requires more than class 2 travel. This summit is often combined with other peaks in the area since its ridges are connected to other accessible peaks.
