A trip to the Chicago basin creates an opportunity to take a steam engine train from Durango along the Animas River, backpack, and knock out four Colorado 14ers of the Needle Mountains, a subrange of the San Juan Mountains in the Weminuche Wilderness of the San Juan National Forest. Ultimately the experience allows for a Grand Slam, a chance to climb four great Colorado 14ers, namely Sunlight Peak, Windom, Eolus, and North Eolus, in a single day.
The greatest challenge is logistics and planning. Let Hiker Tom, a mathematical genius, do the planning for your future trip to the Chicago Basin. In this video we describe the train times, hiking distances, travel times, trails and expectations for accomplishing the Grand Slam in a 3 days weekend.
