Boni was leaving today to head back to the Vail area. After she departed we started up Kendall Mountain. It is located right behind the RV park we are staying in. It is not a popular trail, although it is very challenging and scenic. Ascending up the various shelf roads we again reached heights of over 12,000 feet. At the top we had cineramic view of Silverton and the three valleys that lead to it. We could also see several of the other trails we have traversed in the last few days. While there we were able to watch the steam train from Durango arrive at the station in Silverton. Arriving back in Silverton after some 2+ hours of off roading, the rest of the afternoon was spent relaxing in the sun.
