Fishermen in the San Juan river
We bought groceries in Durango this morning before heading south approximately 100 km to Navajo Lake State Park, where we have a campsite reserved. Just before the campground the road becomes a gravel road, then changes back to pavement as it enters the state park. I guess that is because the access road is a county road, but the roads in the park are maintained by the state.
After we’d set up our trailer we biked a few km further down the road to the trail head for the Simon Canyon trail. We started cycling up this old road as well, but it soon got too steep, and we weren’t in the need of great exercise, so we turned around.
There were quite a number of people fishing in the river. There is supposed to be good trout fishing in the waters of the San Juan River here below the dam. There definitely is a lot of natural gas production here, as we passed many well heads, and signs about pipelines along the road.
