Landform

A high Conejos reservoir under Conejos Peak — South San Juan timber, aspen, and a quieter San Juan door than Telluride.

Field note

The dam looks at snow on Conejos Peak. Antonito is the long way down. This plate is Platoro in Rio Grande / San Juan high country, not Silver Jack and not a Telluride postcard.
