Chanterelle Hunting in Colorado High Country

Ellyn drove us up to Durango Mountain Resort. From there we twisted and turned up dirt roads for another 30-40 minutes.

We parked the car, walked past a hunting  camp with a string of pack horses, and said hello to a friendly cowboy guide.

We walked up into the woods until we found our first stand of chanterelles, and set to work. 15 or so pounds later we drove back to Ellyn's house to process our crop.

We're still contemplating the best way to get our share back home.
